Truecaller is a super handy app when it comes to handling spam calls and knowing who’s calling. But let’s be honest — there are times when you want to be *invisible*. Like, totally off the radar. Maybe you’re dodging work calls on a lazy Saturday or you just want some digital peace. Whatever your reason, hiding your “Last Seen” on Truecaller is easier than you think.
TLDR: Too Long, Didn’t Read
- Truecaller shows your “Last Seen” status to other users by default.
- You can easily hide it in your app settings within seconds.
- Go to the “Privacy Center” in Truecaller and disable “Last Seen”.
- Once it’s off, no one (not even your contacts) will see when you were last online.
Why You Might Want to Hide “Last Seen”
Let’s admit it — being constantly *available* can get exhausting. Here are a few good reasons to hide your status:
- Privacy: You don’t want everyone to know you’re active all the time.
- Declutter: Cut down on unnecessary calls just because someone knows you’re online.
- Control: You choose when and how people connect with you.
Think of it like putting your phone in “stealth mode.” Pretty cool, right?
Let’s Get to the Steps!
Now, let’s walk through the steps to actually hide your “Last Seen” on Truecaller. Don’t worry — it’s simple and won’t take more than a minute.
Step 1: Open the Truecaller App
This may sound obvious, but hey — let’s start at the top. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version.
Step 2: Tap on the Profile Icon
In the upper-left corner of your screen, you’ll see your profile picture or a little circle. Tap that to open your user menu.
Step 3: Go to “Privacy Center”
Scroll through the menu and look for something called “Privacy Center.” Once found, tap it. This is the command center for all things privacy-related in Truecaller.
Step 4: Toggle Off “Last Seen”
In the Privacy Center, you’ll see the “Last Seen” option with a small toggle button next to it. Just switch it off.
Once you do this, other Truecaller users can no longer see when you were last active.
Bonus Tip:
While you’re in the Privacy Center, check out other options too. You can manage who sees your profile, limit how others interact with you, and even stop people from finding you through your phone number.
What Happens When You Hide “Last Seen”?
When you turn off your “Last Seen” status, it brings a few changes:
- People can’t see your online activity.
- You also can’t see other users’ last seen statuses anymore.
- Call/message notifications still happen — but without that *”last online at 2:03 PM”* tag.
It’s a bit of give-and-take, but worth it if you enjoy your privacy.
Do You Still Receive Calls?
Yup, absolutely. Disabling “Last Seen” doesn’t mean you go into radio silence. You’ll still get calls and messages like normal. The only thing you lose is the timestamp that tells others when you were last poking around on the app.
Want to Take It a Step Further?
If you really want digital quiet, here are more tweaks you can make inside Truecaller:
- Profile View Notifications: Turn off who viewed your profile.
- Block Spam Callers: Auto-block known spam or telemarketers.
- Who Can See My Info: Customize who sees your phone number and details.
These options are all inside the Privacy Center. Customize away!
Things to Keep in Mind
Here are a few quick notes just so you’re not caught off guard:
- Turning off “Last Seen” is a mutual thing. If people can’t see yours, you can’t see theirs.
- Some features may change with future updates — so keep your app updated.
- This only affects people using Truecaller. Regular phone users won’t see any of this info either way.
What If You Reactivate “Last Seen” Later?
You can always go back and turn the toggle back on. Head over to the same Privacy Center and restore things just how they were. Truecaller starts showing your status again within a few minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can someone know I turned off my “Last Seen”?

Q: Is hiding “Last Seen” available on iOS and Android?
A: Yes! The steps are the same on both platforms.
Q: Will turning off “Last Seen” save battery?
A: Maybe just a tiny bit — but don’t count on it for serious battery savings. It’s more about privacy than performance.
Conclusion: Go Ghost Mode Anytime
And there you have it! In just a few taps, you can go full-on ninja mode on Truecaller. Whether you’re busy, chilling out, or just don’t feel like broadcasting your presence — it’s your call.
Remember: privacy shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s your right. So go ahead, tweak your settings, and take back control of your online status. Because sometimes, silence really is golden.
