Hello Everyone!!!

I was wondering if there is a way where user can decide whether they want to show or hide their phone number in their public profile just like they can show or hide while posting their new listing. Because their might be some users who don't have any problem to make their number public but some users maybe worried about their privacy and wants to share their number manually only with selected people through private chat when they contact them regarding their listing.

In that case, equivalent is probably to not add any phone number at all.
It is currently not possible to make such setting by user but I do not even see reason for that, maybe just some edge case.

Okay, thanks for replying. Taking mobile number from user and verifying is kept mandatory by us so that if someone does a scam then we can at least have something to provide to legal authorities as a safer side from our end. A person can have unlimited email accounts and using that they can create unlimited accounts on our platform. But I believe no one can have unlimited mobile number using which they can create multiple accounts to scam and that's the reason I bought Mobile number verification plugin. But I understand that not every country have this issue due to which this feature is not added by default. But I had seen a plugin which may solve my problem but I am just afraid of buying it from that website as I can't blindly trust a 3rd party website which is not owned by the main service provider, because after purchasing if it doesn't work then I can't do anything and also their is a possibility that said website is not genuine and they can misuse my payment information. But, its fine as people who are concerned about their privacy maybe limited as compared to people who don't have problem in having their mobile number public. I thought that maybe there is something inbuilt which I might have missed because wile posting new listing the user get the option to chose whether they want to show or hide their number on listing page and it doesn't make any sense if their number is already visible on their profile page.

@Brandso
In that case you should hide phone numbers for unlogged users. Will require small updates in theme as well.
