Step 1: Installing Telegram
Before you can start searching for contacts on Telegram, you need to have the app installed on your device. Visit the App Store or Google Play Store and search for Telegram. Download and install the app on your device.
Step 2: Creating an Account
Once the app is installed, open it and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account. You will be asked to provide a valid phone number, to which a verification code will be sent. Enter the code to complete the registration process.
Step 3: Accessing the Contacts List
After creating your account, you will be taken to the Telegram home screen. Look for the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) and tap on it. From the menu, select “Contacts.”
Step 4: Searching for a Contact
On the Contacts page, you will find a search bar at the top. Tap on the search bar and enter the name or username of the contact you want to find. Telegram will start displaying relevant results as you type.
Step 5: Selecting the Contact
Once you find the desired contact in the search results, tap on their name to open their profile.
Step 6: Initiating a Chat
On the contact’s profile page, you will see an option to “Send Message” or “Start Chat.” Tap on it to initiate a conversation with the contact.
Step 7: Adding Contacts from Phonebook
In addition to searching for contacts manually, Telegram also offers the option to sync your phonebook contacts with the app. To do this, go back to the Contacts page, and tap on the menu icon. From the menu, select “Settings” and then “Privacy and Security.” Scroll down and enable the “Sync Contacts” option. Telegram will then sync your phonebook contacts, and any users who have Telegram will appear in your Contacts list.
Now that you know how to find a contact on Telegram, you can easily connect and communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. Remember to always respect privacy and secure your conversations by using Telegram’s end-to-end encryption features. Happy messaging!
