According to the developers TrueCaller, the application has 2.7 billion registered phone numbers, so there is a huge database that you can search through to identify a phone number, the option to search for people's names to discover a phone number is also available.
To search using TrueCaller there are 2 methods:

This function for the blacklist requires the creation of a contact in your contact book and the access of the TrueCaller application to your entire list of contacts, so that it will automatically create contacts with all the numbers you do not want to answer, they being saved in terminals and by default in iCloud , when you backup.
By default, TrueCaller should not upload your contacts to the developers' servers, but it does offer the option to do so for searches and forces you to do so if you want to use the blacklist feature, so it's up to you. as long as you allow him to do so.
