How to find a person in Telegram by phone number

Telegram is a popular messenger with a convenient contact search system. If you have a number, finding a person is not a problem. Let's look at how to find a person in Telegram by phone number, as well as possible problems during the search process.

Search in Telegram by phone number

The easiest way to find a person is through the built-in search:

1. Open Telegram and go to the "Contacts" section (on iOS - the person icon at the bottom, on Android - three stripes at the top).
2. Click on the search icon (magnifying glass) and enter the number in international format (+ 7XXX ...).
3. If the profile is not hidden in the privacy settings, it will appear in the results.

Important: The number must be saved in your address book. Also, do not forget that the user can prohibit the display of their profile in the settings.

Most common problems

Sometimes the number is there, but Telegram does not show the profile. Possible reasons:

• Incorrect number format - it must start with "+" and the country code (for example, +7 for Russia).
• The contact is not saved in the phone book - add it and update the contacts in the Telegram settings.
• The user has limited visibility - in this case, only the username or an invitation via a link will help.
  

If the profile is not displayed, try:

• Synchronize contacts (Settings → Contacts → Update).
• Enter the number manually without spaces and hyphens.

Finding a person in Telegram without a number

If searching in Telegram by number did not yield any results, but you know other data, you can try alternative methods:

1. Search by username - if the user has a public @nickname, enter it in the Telegram search.
2. Via common groups - if the person is in the same chats as you, you can find him there.
3. Via an invitation link - if you have t.me/…, follow it to open the profile.

What to do if the person is not in Telegram?

It happens like this: you have a person's phone number, but for some reason his profile is not in Telegram. Let's figure out why this happens and how to solve this problem.
The first reason is that the person may not use Telegram at all or have deleted their account. In this case:

• Telegram will offer you to send this person an invitation
• You can simply send them a link to download the application
• Ask them to register in the messenger themselves

The second reason is that the user is seriously concerned about their privacy. He could:

• Hide his phone number in privacy settings
• Use only username for search
• Limit the ability to find him by phone number

How to find a person in this case:

1. Ask him to share his username (nickname in Telegram)
2. Send him a personal invitation via the “Invite to Telegram” function
3. Contact him via other messengers and ask him to add you
