How do I see mutual contacts?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To see mutual contacts on a social media platform, follow these steps:

1. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the social media website.
2. Log in to your account using your username and password. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one before proceeding.
3. Once logged in, you will be directed to the homepage or news feed of the social media platform.
4. Towards the top-left of the screen, you will find a search text field labeled “People, groups & messages.” Click inside this field to activate it.
5. Enter the name of the person you wish to find. As you type, the platform’s search functionality will start suggesting matching results based on your input.
6. Look through the suggested results and click on the appropriate profile of the person you are searching for.
7. On the right-hand side of the person’s profile, you will see various information, including the number of mutual friends you have with that person.
8. Take note of the number of mutual friends displayed. This indicates the number of friends you and the person you searched for have in common on the social media platform.
9. If you want to view the list of mutual friends, you can click on the number displayed. This will take you to a page or pop-up showing the names or profile pictures of your mutual friends.
10. You can then explore the profiles of these mutual friends or use this information to connect with or message them if desired.

Remember, the availability and visibility of mutual contacts may vary depending on the privacy settings of both your own and the searched person’s profiles. If either of you has restricted access to mutual friends, you may not be able to see the full list or any at all.

In my personal experience, I have used this method on various social media platforms to find mutual contacts. It can be helpful in identifying connections and building relationships with people who share common friends or interests. However, it is important to respect the privacy of others and use this information responsibly.
