Hi all, I’m new to Telegram and want to know how to add people on Telegram. Do I need their phone number, or is there another way? Any tips for finding people safely without sharing too much personal information would be helpful.

To add people on Telegram, the easiest way is using their phone number—just go to Contacts → Add Contact, enter their details, and you’re connected. You can also search for users by their username without needing their number, which is safer if you want to keep your info private. For groups or channels, you can join via invite links. Always be cautious about sharing personal info and verify unknown contacts before interacting.

Telegram includes options to add contacts using the phone number, usernames, invite links, or even in case of group and channel accessibility.

People can be added by searching their username, by syncing phone contacts, or by an invite link which can be shared inside the app.

To add people on Telegram, open the app and tap the Search icon. Find a contact by name or username, then tap Add to Contacts. You can also invite people by sharing your Telegram link or syncing your phone contacts in the app settings.

You can add people on Telegram using their phone number or just their @username, no number needed. For privacy, stick to usernames, tweak your privacy settings, and avoid random public groups unless you trust the source.
