Your contacts will sync with Telegram when you initially sign up for an account.
You’ll be able to see a list of your contacts who use Telegram, in other words.
Go to the “Contacts” page to accomplish this.
Only your connections who have Telegram will be shown on the “Contacts” page.
As a result, not all of your contacts will be visible there.
You can, nonetheless, invite your acquaintances who do not already use Telegram to sign up.
You’ll be able to view their contact when they join Telegram on the “Contacts” page.
If you don’t have that person’s contact information, what then?
You can still add someone even if you don’t have their contact information.
You’ll discover how to add someone on in this manual.
How to add someone on Telegram
You may either look up someone’s username to add them on Telegram or, if your friends don’t have the app, invite them.
As an alternative, you can add nearby Telegram users by using the “Find people nearby” option.
Your contacts are synced with Telegram via the app.
If you have someone’s contact information, Telegram’s “Contacts” page will display that person if they have the app.
If you’ve added someone’s contact information but they don’t appear on the “Contacts” page, they may not be using Telegram.
As a result, you must invite them to Telegram.
On Telegram, you can also add people by username.
On the app, Telegram allows you to select a username.
If you do, folks won’t need your phone number to find you because they can search for you by your username.
This is comparable to a username on social networking.
Here are three methods for adding people on Telegram:
- Add someone by their username
- Invite your friends
- Find people nearby
1. Add someone by their username
To add someone, use their username as a starting point.
The user must have a Telegram username, though.
If not, the programme won’t let you search for them.
You need to ask them to create a Telegram username if they don’t already have one.
You must select “Settings” from the bottom navigation bar in order to obtain a Telegram username.
Tap “Edit” to see your profile options after that.
By tapping “Username” in your profile settings, you can select a Telegram username.
You must ask someone for their Telegram username once they have one.
Then click “Contacts” from the bottom navigation bar’s list of options.
The contacts page will open once you’ve clicked “Contacts.”
You can view a list of your connections who use Telegram on the contacts page.
A search box is also visible at the top of the page.
First, click the search button in the page’s header.
You can add people to Telegram by searching for their username.
Use the search field to look up the user name of the person.
Tap the search result for the person you want to add after that.
A private communication with that individual can be started by tapping on them.
You can now send them a message to add them.
To add someone to Telegram, just message them!
Your conversations will show their contact when you’ve sent them a message.
2. Invite your friends
Invite your friends to join Telegram as a second option.
You can invite someone to join Telegram if you already have their contact information.
Click “Contacts” on the bottom navigation bar to get started.
By doing so, the contacts page will be opened, displaying a list of your connections who use Telegram.
Any of your contacts who are not using Telegram won’t appear in the list.
As a result, you must invite them to Telegram.
Tap “Invite Friends” to send a Telegram invitation to your contacts.
You’ll be sent to the “Invite Friends” page after tapping “Invite Friends.”
You can view a list of your contacts who are not using Telegram on the website.
First, use the search bar to look for the person you want to add to Telegram.
Tap on their contact to choose them after that.
Tap the “Welcome x Contacts” option at the bottom of the page once you’ve chosen the people you wish to invite to Telegram.
This will send a Telegram invitation to your chosen contacts!
You’ll be notified if they join Telegram if that happens to be the case.
Additionally, you may find their contact information on the “Contacts” page.
3. Find people nearby
The third method entails adding local contacts to Telegram.
There is a “Find People Nearby” function in Telegram.
You may rapidly add nearby viewers of the feature by using the “Find People Nearby” function.
Local group chats are another thing you can find.
Click “Contacts” on the bottom navigation bar to get started.
By doing so, the contacts page that displays all of your Telegram-using contacts will open.
Then click “Find People Nearby.”
After clicking “Find People Nearby,” you must give Telegram permission to track your location.
You won’t be able to use the functionality if you don’t.
To allow Telegram to track your location, tap the “Allow Access” button.
Conclusion
Typically, adding someone on Telegram involves looking up their username.
The user must have a Telegram username, though.
If not, you can only add them by including their contact information.
The “Contacts” page’s search bar can be used to locate the person if they have a Telegram username.
The person will appear on the “Chats” page once you send them a message.
