You should see an option like "Add to Contacts". Tap this.
You can then enter or edit their first and last names for your contact list.
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 telegram number database 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 phased out the "People Nearby" feature for finding individuals and replaced it with "Nearby Businesses." However, older versions or specific forks might still have it. If you don't see it, it means it's been removed from your version.
If it's available:
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 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 Deleted Contact in Telegram
