I use Redmi 9 Prime. On that, I use the Truecaller app. I want to use Truecaller only for calls and strictly not for SMS. So I never give SMS read permission to the Treucaller app.
But still, sometimes Truecaller read new personal SMS. Till now did not see any service or OTP SMS in Truecaller. Don't know how come.
What can be the reason or source for getting this possible? How can I stop Truecaller from strictly touching my SMS?

Does Truecaller app leak your phonebook?
Sometimes, I cannot find new contacts that I add to the Truecaller phonebook, but sometimes, I think it shares/leaks my contacts to the public. It shows other people's contact details that I never added there. So I am thinking if it is doing the same to me. Android: 7.1.1 Phone: Oneplus 3T

How to open all numbers from WhatsApp directly in Truecaller?
I'm part of some WhatsApp groups and there are people whom I know but am unable to map them to those phone contacts which do not show anything but blank profile photos and no name.

I'm part of some WhatsApp groups and there are people whom I know but am unable to map them to those phone contacts which do not show anything but blank profile photos and no name. Asking everyone will be too much work.
Is there any way to directly open the contacts in Truecaller instead of the default Android app?

Can Truecaller get caller ID on 2G connection?
Truecaller emphasizes that it requires 3G/WiFi connection in order to tell caller ID. Does this mean that if I'm in an area where only 2G is available and no WiFi is available, Truecaller cannot get a caller ID for me?
