WhatsApp calls do not show on Truecaller. Truecaller primarily identifies and blocks spam calls and displays caller ID information for traditional voice calls. Since WhatsApp calls use internet protocol (IP) for voice communication and are encrypted, they do not appear in Truecaller's logs or services.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Can Truecaller detect or block WhatsApp calls? No, Truecaller cannot detect or block WhatsApp calls because these calls use internet-based protocols and are encrypted, making them invisible to Truecaller's traditional voice call identification system.
  2. Why don’t WhatsApp calls show up in Truecaller’s logs? WhatsApp calls use internet protocol (IP) and encryption which Truecaller doesn’t track, as the app focuses on traditional cellular voice calls and spam identification.
  3. Does Truecaller block spam calls on WhatsApp? No, Truecaller is designed to identify and block spam calls on traditional phone networks; it does not block spam or unwanted calls made through WhatsApp.
