Does the Craigslist App Hide Your Phone Number from Users?

Hey everyone!

Quick question for those using the Craigslist app: does the craigslist app hide your phone number from users? 🤔

I’ve been thinking about posting an ad, but I’m a bit concerned about privacy. I don’t want my personal number floating around out there.

I know some platforms provide options to mask your number, but I’m not sure how it works with Craigslist.

If anyone has experience with this or knows how it handles phone numbers, I’d really appreciate the info!

Thanks! 😊

I was concerned about my privacy too, but using the Craigslist app has been smooth. I haven’t had to deal with my actual number being shared, which is a relief!
