manual blocks against 140 & 1600 series in the past 8 months. Daily blocking on 1600 has tripled (+208%) since October 2025. Every day, Truecaller users block ~4 lakh 140-series and ~1.25 lakh 1600-series calls[1].

Remove one. Trust weakens. All three are load-bearing.
Protect trusted numbers by preventing their misuse — not by hiding consumer experience.
