Stop Spam Calls Without Using Truecaller App
Removing Truecaller may increase spam calls on phone. Use the Google Phone app to avoid such calls. It is available on most Android smartphones by default. Tap the three dots and go to “Settings” menu.
Then tap “Caller ID and Spam” in the list. Enable “Caller ID & Spam” and “Filter Spam Calls.” This blocks most spam calls automatically on your phone.
For blocking spam messages, use SMS Organizer app. This app groups spam messages in a separate folder. You won’t get alerts for junk or marketing messages. All messages stay locally on phone, not on cloud.
To use Truecaller without sharing your personal data, create a second user space on your Android phone. Install Truecaller there without giving access to contacts. This helps identify unknown numbers without privacy issues.
