Does the Craigslist App Hide Your Phone Number? How Does It Work?

31 Replies, 2787 Views

Hey! So, I’ve been using the Craigslist app for years, and yes, it does hide your phone number when you post or message people. It uses a proxy system where they assign a temporary number to your listing or messages. That way, your real number stays private.

But heads up—if you manually type your number into the description or something, it’ll show up. So just stick to the contact options they provide.

If you’re super worried about privacy, you could also use a burner app like Google Voice for extra security. Hope that helps!
