How to Add and Use Contact Tags in Getcaller
When you look up a number in Getcaller, you may see a name or a short tag added by another user — labels like "Delivery," "Bank," or "Spam Caller." These come from the community, not from an official directory, and you can add your own tag too. Here's how tags work and how to use them.
What a contact tag is
A contact tag is a short label that Getcaller users can attach to a phone number to help describe it — for example, what kind of caller it is or why it called. Tags are shared across the community, so a tag you add may be visible to other users who search the same number, and a number you search may already carry a tag someone else added.
How to add a tag to a number
- Open the Getcaller app and search for the phone number.
- On the search results screen, tap Add Tag.
- Enter a short, descriptive label (for example, "Pizza Delivery," "Insurance," or "Possible Spam").
- Tap Save to submit it.
Keep tags accurate and appropriate
Tags are visible to other users, so keep them factual and neutral. Avoid personal names, insults, or anything that could be considered harassing or defamatory — Getcaller may remove tags that are misleading, offensive, or inappropriate. A tag reflects one user's input, not a verified fact about the number or its owner.
How displayed names work alongside tags
Separately from tags, Getcaller may show a name for a number based on how it has been saved in other users' contacts. When a number has been saved under several different names, the app shows the name that appears most often. This, too, is community input rather than an official or verified identity — results can vary and may not match who is actually calling.
Getting more from tags and names
Tags and displayed names work best as one more piece of context alongside your own judgment — not as proof on their own. If a number looks suspicious regardless of its tag, treat the call with normal caution: avoid sharing personal details and verify anything important through an official channel before acting.
Summary
Contact tags let the Getcaller community add short, descriptive labels to phone numbers, and you can add your own from the search results screen. Both tags and displayed names are shared, user-submitted information rather than verified facts, so use them as helpful context rather than a final answer about who is calling.
