Ah ok, you're talking about *Truecaller* - that's very clear and well documented. The assignment of names/titles on Truecaller *is NOT random, it's an electronic control mechanism based on crowdsourcing*, but it can be indirectly manipulated. Here's how it really works: *1. Main source - Other people's address books:* When someone installs Truecaller and accepts permissions, the app uploads their entire contact list. If 10 people have saved you as "Mohamed Livreur," Truecaller will display "Mohamed Livreur" for your number. That's why you can be in their database even if you've never installed the app. 459362a9 *2. Secondary source - What you declare yourself:* You can create a profile and add your name, photo, company. *3. New feature - LinkedIn Verified Titles:* For the past 2 weeks, Truecaller has partnered with LinkedIn. You can now link your LinkedIn and display your real job title and company verified on incoming calls. It's optional; you can enable or disable it. eccb *So to answer your initial question:* No, it's not random. But yes, it can be manipulated by entities: - *Unknown entity:* Anyone who has your number can save you under a fake name, and if many do it, that name becomes your "title" on Truecaller - *Authorized entity:* Yourself via your profile, or LinkedIn which certifies your professional title to override fake names If you have a problem with a title displayed on your number, do you want me to show you how to correct it / get it verified with LinkedIn?
