Even if you don't use it, if anyone who has your number uses truecaller then your number, profession, and social graph etc will be recorded and shown to other users.

Let's fight back by unlisting our numbers from truecaller.

Where's the evidence for this though?

Not disagreeing with you, just curious.

Truecaller always seemed very fishy to me anyways. I live in a country where most people use Truecaller— even businesses. This makes it difficult for me to quit Truecaller altogether, and it pisses me off.
