Is Truecaller showing "on call" surely right?

Truecaller is something I use on a regular basis, and whenever I test it with the "On Call" feature, it always gives me accurate information.

When I call my 'X' friend and ask my 'Y' friend to look at my status, as soon as I call my 'X' friend, Y friend will find me with an "On a call" status. And as I ended the call, my 'Y' friend who checked the status would see that it had immediately been updated to "Last seen now." This would occur soon after I ended the call.

No, you cannot do that. Truecaller does not currently offer such a feature or option, and I believe it will never do so in the future.
