Unknown Numbers calling your phone can be stressful. You never know who's on the other end a potential employer, a client, a delivery person, or a scammer. For years, Truecaller has helped millions identify unknown callers by showing their name and number. Now, the app is taking things a step further. Thanks to a new partnership with LinkedIn, Truecaller will display not just the caller's name but also their job title, workplace, and LinkedIn profile link. This means you can now see a caller's professional identity before you even pick up the phone.
The feature is built on LinkedIn's "Verified on LinkedIn" program, which allows members to verify their identity and workplace on the platform. Truecaller has become a partner in this program. To use this feature, you need to link your own LinkedIn profile to your Truecaller account. Once connected, your professional information can be displayed on your caller ID when you call someone.
But here's the important part: not all your LinkedIn information will be shared automatically. You have full control over what appears. You can choose which details are visible to others. If you ever change your mind, you can simply turn off the feature or disconnect your LinkedIn profile from Truecaller entirely.
NB: For more updates on technology and how it's changing our daily lives, the ShineMat.com tech blog regularly covers these topics.
• Name and profile photo.
• Current workplace or company name.
• Job title or designation.
• Link to their LinkedIn profile.
• Verification badge if their workplace is verified on LinkedIn.
This is especially useful for business and professional calls. Imagine you are waiting for a call from a recruiter or a potential client. Instead of guessing, you will see their name, company, and role displayed right on your screen. You can decide whether to answer based on their professional identity.
When creating a new Truecaller account, you can use the "Login with LinkedIn" option to connect your profile. If you are already a Truecaller user, you can link your LinkedIn account through the "Verified on LinkedIn" feature in the app settings. Once connected, your workplace and job title may appear on the caller ID. If your workplace is verified on LinkedIn, a small verification mark may appear next to the company name.

Users can turn off the feature at any time. If you don't want your job title or workplace displayed, you can disable it in your Truecaller settings. You can also disconnect your LinkedIn profile from Truecaller whenever you want.
This partnership between Truecaller and LinkedIn is a step forward in making professional communication more transparent. It's especially useful for freelancers, job seekers, and business professionals who receive calls from unknown numbers regularly.

LinkedIn's verification program has grown rapidly. As of September 23, more than 11.5 crore (115 million) members have verified their identity on the platform. LinkedIn is expanding its verification partnerships with services like Adobe, TrustRadius, UserTesting, and Peerspot to allow verified information to be used across multiple platforms.A Word of Caution From ShineMat team
While this new feature is helpful, it's important to stay cautious. Just because a caller's identity is verified doesn't mean the call is safe. Scammers can still find ways to exploit trust. Never share personal or financial information over the phone unless you are absolutely certain about who you're talking to. If a call feels suspicious, hang up and verify through other means.This partnership between Truecaller and LinkedIn is a step forward in making professional communication more transparent.
