Don't forget the recent 'supposed' data dump from Truecaller![1] Truecaller, even without breach is a privacy nightmare. Even if one doesn't use Truecaller for privacy reasons, if any of their contacts use it; then their phone number + other details are already in Truecaller's database. Before android 6.0, contact permissions weren't existent in consumer android devices and India basically being an android country lead to Truecaller's data trove. If one wish to use Truecaller without uploading their contacts then they can use their web version, which is a progressive web app; it can be saved to phone & used like a native app. Just don't select 'Enhanced Search', it will upload the contacts from email which is used to sign in(better to use a Truecaller only email id for it).
