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

I was wondering the same thing a while back! From what I’ve seen, the Craigslist app hides your phone number by default. They use a proxy number for communication, so your real number stays hidden.

But honestly, I’d still be careful. I’ve heard some people say they’ve had issues with their number leaking, but I think that’s rare. Just make sure you’re not putting your number in the ad text or anything.

If you’re super paranoid, maybe try using a service like Burner or Sideline for extra protection.
