HOW TO FIND A PERSON IN TELEGRAM
Telegram messenger is becoming more and more popular every day, but most newcomers have a question: "How to find a person in Telegram?" because of the unfamiliar interface, and often because of the English localization.
There is nothing difficult in answering this question, as you will now see for yourself.
What you need to know to find people fast and free on Telegram.
How to find a person in Telegram
The main point is that the person you are looking for must be registered in the Telegram messenger.
There is a nuance here that depends on the platform used. If Telegram is installed on a Windows Phone, iOS or Android smartphone, all contacts who are not registered in the messenger will be displayed as a simple list from the phone book of your smartphone, and you will be able to send them an invitation to register in Telegram.
For those who use the messenger on a laptop or desktop computer without synchronization with the mobile application - the list of contacts will be empty, and with synchronization will be displayed only those users who are already registered in Telegram without the aforementioned inactive list.
How to find a user by number
On a smartphone
The main thing you need to know is the phone number of a potential friend.
Chats in Telegram
Next, there are two ways to proceed:
Without opening Telegram or simply minimizing it, simply add a new entry to the phone book, with the phone number and name. And if the person you are looking for is registered in the system, he will immediately appear in the lists, if he is not registered, you can send an invitation with a link to register.
Saving a contact
All these actions can be repeated through the application itself, just open the tab "Contacts" and click on the button " ".Saving a contact
On your computer
In the application press the icon (in the left top corner), which opens the menu and select the section "Contacts".Contacts
In the next window, click on "Add contact" and fill in "First name", "Last name" and "Phone number" and click "Create" when you are done entering the information.
How to find users by nickname
"Nickname" in this messenger is a unique identifier of a registered person or bot in the system, which begins with the symbol "@".
This is the best and easiest method of finding people due to the fact that there is simply no number or because many people do not want to provide any information about themselves, except for this "nickname", in order to avoid "leakage" of personal information in case the real identity is found through a phone number.
"Nick" people come up with their own, for bots, respectively, the developers, and it looks, for example, "@user".
Search for contacts
So, in order to find friends, you need:
- Open the application and click on the "Search" icon.
- Enter the nickname you know that the user has provided into the search box.
- As soon as the application finds a match for the data you entered, you can review the options and select the one you're looking for.
- For those using the Desktop version of Telegram for PC, the principle is virtually the same as described above, except that the data on the channel is provided in a more extensive form.
By name without a phone number
There are also situations when there is no contact information about a person but you need to find him or her. To do this, you can use the username of a Telegram user.
To find a user by name, you should click on the magnifying glass icon at the top of the popular Telegram messenger screen on the right. This is the button to open the search bar.
Search by name
In this line, enter the known name of the user to be found in the application. Telegram's algorithm is designed to give out a search result in a matter of seconds. Based on the information you entered, a list of possible contacts matching your description will be displayed.
The problem with this method is that many users use similar or even identical names or nicknames. For this reason, it is a little more difficult to search in situations where you do not know the exact signature of the searched user in the Telegram messenger. But even so, it is quite possible to find a person using only his first name, last name and not owning his phone number.
If you are not sure what the Telegram user's name is, try entering the name used in other social networks.
The probability of finding a user by name only, and not even knowing his last name, is far from the highest. Surely you will have to double-check the impressive list of options that match your search query. This largely depends on how rare the name of the Telegram user you're looking for is.
By first and last name
Not the most unlikely option. But it is not always possible to use it.You can only use the data in the form of first and last name. But it is not certain that this will work in one situation or another. To apply this method, you need to open an additional menu in the form of three horizontal lines at the top left of the messenger screen. And then click on the "Invite Friends" button.
Search by last name
IMPORTANT. If a person does not have a Telegram account, you will not be able to find and add them. There is only an opportunity to send an invitation for him to install the application and create an account.
After pressing this button, a list of social networks and messengers from which you can add people to Telegram will appear on the display.
The probability of finding the right person is quite high. At the very least, you will be given a list of similar contacts. Already on the avatar, or by sending messages, you can accurately determine whether this person or not.
Although objectively the easiest and most accurate way involves using a phone number.
By car number
It sounds strange, but Telegram has an opportunity to add new friends using their car registration number. This method is rather unconventional, but it works.
In addition to being able to find the user, it gives you access to additional information about the person you are looking for. Having only the license plate number, you can find out:
- the make and model of the vehicle;
- cell phone of the car owner;
- registration number;
- VIN;
- year of manufacture of the vehicle;
- availability of right- or left-hand drive configuration;
- information about the power unit (engine) used.
But to add a user through the car number you will first need to use one of the appropriate special bots. These are Telegram bots like AVinfoBot or AvtoCodBot. They are added to your contact list, after which you only need to click the Start button.
AVinfoBot Telegram bot
The auto number that you were able to find out is prescribed, all available information will be displayed.
Only it is important to keep in mind that it will be possible to reach the person in Telegram by the car number only if he has previously published ads for the sale of his car on the thematic websites. Also, the database may contain outdated information, which is why Telegram will give the contacts of an entirely different person with the car number. Namely, the previous owner and holder of these license plates.
Finding a user in the Telegram messenger is not a problem. You just need to use one of the available methods.
