If your number is showing a wrong name in Truecaller, you can correct it yourself (if you have Truecaller installed). If you do not have it installed, we would suggest installing the app and changing the name yourself as the fastest option.
- If you are a Truecaller user, you can change your name within the app itself. Here are the instructions:
On Android:
Step 1: Open the app and tap on the profile icon in the top left corner
Step 2: Tap 'Edit profile'. (screenshots further below)
Step 3: Set the correct name on Truecaller
On iPhone:
Step 1: Open the app and tap on the profile icon in the top left corner
Step 2: Tap 'Edit profile'. (screenshots below)
Step 3: Set the correct name on Truecaller
- If you're not a Truecaller user, please write to us at support@truecaller.com
Important: If you’ve recently updated your profile it may take up to 24-48 hours for your details to be updated.
(It’s also possible that your phone has locally saved the old information. We suggest that you clear the search entry of your number in the app. If you have an Android device you can also go to your 'phone settings > Apps > Truecaller > Clear Cache' then try again.)
