The service is crowdsourced, like Truecaller, where users give feedback about a number. This means they can list the number as spam and alert others about it. If the number is a telemarketer, users will know and can add that number to their spam calls list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/heylocate.mobi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/numberguru-phone-number-search-gif-en.gif\" alt=\"A gif of Numberguru phone number search\" class=\"wp-image-20381\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Numberguru and Truecaller have simple user interfaces to quickly look up numbers and block spammers. Numberguru reverse number lookup works like Truecaller number search. You enter the number on the search bar, and Numberguru will find its owner by searching through its database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>after experimenting with both apps, we discovered that Truecaller causes battery drainage because of background use, unlike Numberguru, which does not affect the phone&#8217;s performance.<\/strong> You will also not be asked to make Numberguru the default caller ID and phone app like Truecaller does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numberguru has an app available for <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.numberguru&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/numberguru-spam-caller-id\/id431750800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS<\/a>.
