Reason: If a user has set their "Who can see my phone number?" setting to "Nobody," their number will not be visible on their profile to anyone, regardless of whether you're in their contacts or not. This is a common and recommended privacy setting for many users.
What You Can Do If You Need Their Number (and it's not visible):
The most straightforward and ethical approach is to ask them directly within Telegram chat.
Simply message them: "Hey, I was wondering if I could get your phone number for [reason - e.g., 'to add you to my regular contacts,' 'for a call,' 'in case Telegram isn't available']."
Remember, respect for privacy is fundamental on platforms like Telegram. If someone has chosen to hide their number, it's their right, and legitimate methods will not bypass that setting.You can add contacts in Telegram through several methods, catering to different situations like having their phone number, knowing their username, or even finding people nearby.
