There's often an option like "Share My Phone Number" – you can toggle this OFF if you don't want them to see your number for privacy.
Tap "Done" or "Save".
Method 4: From a Group Chat or Channel
If you're already in a group or channel with someone you want to add as a contact:
Tap on their profile picture or name within a message they sent.
This will open their profile. You can then tap "Add to Contacts" from their profile, similar to Method 3.
Method 5: Using "People Nearby" (Location-Based Discovery)
Note: As of a recent update (around September 2024), Telegram has evolved the "People Nearby" feature. While it previously allowed finding individual users, it's now often focused on "Nearby Businesses" or finding nearby groups. If you're looking for individuals, the effectiveness of this method might vary depending on your Telegram version and region. However, if it's still available for individual discovery:
Open Telegram.
Go to the Contacts tab (or the main menu ☰ on Android).
Select "Find People Nearby".
You (and the other person) need to have this screen open telegram number database simultaneously and allow location access.
Telegram will show a list of nearby users. You can then tap on their profile to start a chat or add them to your contacts.
Privacy Note: Using this feature reveals your approximate location to others on the same screen. You can choose to "Stop showing me" to hide your profile after use.
By utilizing these methods, you can effectively manage and expand your contact list on Telegram.How to Get in Contact with Telegram Support.
