Finding a Person’s Social Networks by Phone Number: General Information

To identify the person calling from an unknown number, you can use not only social networks but also messengers such as Viber, Telegram, and WhatsApp. It is likely that the person is registered in at least one of these services, and you can find them on social networks using their phone number.

However, before searching on social networks or messengers, it is important to add the phone number from which the call was made to your contacts. Without this step, the search may not be successful. To simplify the search, it is recommended to label the contact explicitly, for example, "Called in the morning!".

If you frequently receive calls from unknown numbers for work, consider installing the GetContact app on your phone, as it can help identify such numbers.

VKontakte

Here’s how you can find a person’s social networks by phone number using the VK mobile app, which is also applicable to the online version of the service:

1. Open the "Services" section in the VK mobile app or in the browser version and navigate to the corresponding section;
2. Select the option "Add friends from contacts" by clicking on the corresponding item;
3. Grant permission to import contacts and access the contacts of the VK app. This is necessary to search for social profiles of users by phone numbers;
4. After this, a list of your contacts will appear. Simply find the person you need in the social network by their phone number and click on their avatar to go to their page and find out who exactly called you;
5. If necessary, you can click the "Add" button to add an unknown contact to your friends list in VK.

5. If necessary, check the checkbox to the right of the user’s avatar and click the "Befriend Selected" button to be able to write or call the person who called you;

It is important to note that granting access to contacts to the OK app is not mandatory, as it will automatically obtain all necessary permissions and direct access to your phone’s memory.

4. Tap the contact’s avatar. This will open their account;
5. Click on the message icon below the avatar to write to the unknown caller.

Finding a number in Telegram may be more challenging since the number of users of this service exceeds 700 million. This is why the messenger is convenient for promotion, as its vast user base is actively used for targeted advertising.

6. On the new screen, you will see the avatar of the person who called you. You can call back or send a message;
7. After viewing the profile of the unknown phone number, you can delete it from your contacts.

It can be noted that the instructions for finding a user in Viber are similar to the algorithm for Telegram but have their own specifics.

WhatsApp

Finally, try finding a person’s social networks by their mobile phone number using WhatsApp:

2. Then, in the dropdown menu, click on the exclamation mark icon. This action will open the user’s profile page.

Important to Remember

Finding a person on social networks by phone number is possible if:

• The user has not disabled the ability to search for their account by phone number. For example, VK has a corresponding feature. If it is enabled, you will be able to find their page on the social network;
• The phone owner has linked the number from which they called you to their account in the social network or messenger. If the number was correctly linked to their profile, the search will also be successful.
