Can people see my number on Telegram?

Answered by Robert Flynn

On Telegram, you have control over the visibility of your phone number. By default, your number is only visible to people who you have added to your address book as contacts. This means that unless someone has your number saved in their contacts, they will not be able to see your number on Telegram.

However, it is important to note that there are certain situations where your number may become visible to others on Telegram. For example, if you join a group where someone has your number saved in their contacts, they may be able to see your number. Additionally, if you have added someone to your contacts and they have their privacy settings set to allow their contacts to see their number, they will be able to see your number as well.

To further enhance your privacy, Telegram provides additional options in the settings. You can navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Phone Number to modify who can see your number on Telegram. Here, you can choose to allow everyone, only your contacts, or nobody to see your number. It is up to you to decide which option best suits your privacy preferences.

In my personal experience, I have found Telegram to be quite secure in terms of phone number visibility. I appreciate the control it offers in allowing me to choose who can see my number. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my number is not easily accessible to strangers or unwanted individuals.

People can only see your number on Telegram if they have it saved in their contacts. By default, your number is only visible to those who you have added as contacts. However, you can further modify this in the settings to decide who can see your number. Telegram provides a level of privacy control that allows users to feel secure in their communication.
