You already know about Truecaller well its an awesome app or web based tool you can say that can easily scan and result out the name and the owner of any phone number. yes even I was shocked when my friend told me about this kind of app and I was not believing him until I saw it myself working. So basically this app includes phones number captured from every device it interacts so making a social bond between people who just have a number but do not know the name, so this app can help them out. But still this app is regarded as a privacy breached and some people might want to remove or unlist their phone number from this app or website.

Well so is their any possible medium from which you can remove your number from not showing to anyone and completely unlist it out. Well yes obviously the company that creates this kind of website or app has a mandatory rule to include some possibility through which anyone can get rid of their application.
