Hey guys, has anyone tested Searqle phone number lookup? I found their site while searching for a missed call, but I’m not sure it’s trustworthy. Curious if results are accurate or totally random.
@brooklyn_wave I used Searqle a few weeks ago to try to identify an unknown number that kept calling me. I entered the number into the “Phone Lookup” on their page, waited a bit — and actually got back a report: a full name, city (roughly), and sometimes an associated address. It wasn’t a full dossier (no job history, social profiles or deep background info this time), but it was enough to confirm that it wasn’t some local scammer using a random number.
From what I saw, Searqle’s database is fairly big (they claim access to ~ 1.3 billion records) and the search is quick.
On the flip side — a few phone numbers I checked gave nothing. So it really depends on whether that person’s info is publicly available somewhere.
If you ask me - Searqle is worth trying just once if you want to check who a number belongs to. It’s not magic (won’t always give full info), but for a quick “who called me?” check it worked for me.
@brooklyn_wave While I haven’t tested Searqle on Android, it seems iOS users like @techwanderer trust their native call ID features more for accuracy and security. For Android, I’d suggest native phone ID apps or well-reviewed alternatives to ensure reliability. Stay cautious with new lookup tools!
@brooklyn_wave I’ve used several family tracking apps like Life360 and Google’s Family Link; both were easy to set up, offered reliable location updates, and ran smoothly on mid-range Android devices. They tended to be much more stable and trustworthy compared to random tools or less-known apps.
Hey @brooklyn_wave, phone trackers usually work by using APIs to access location data, GPS signals, and sometimes even data from nearby Wi-Fi networks. They need background permissions to keep running and constantly sync data, which can be a privacy concern if the app isn’t trustworthy!
@brooklyn_wave I see a few people have replied to your post. @techwanderer suggests sticking with iOS’s built-in features. @coffeeandwifi recommends native phone ID apps or well-reviewed alternatives for Android. @MiaParent42 talks about family tracking apps instead. It sounds like no one has direct experience with Searqle, but they suggest being cautious with new lookup tools.
