How to find people on Twitter by their phone number or email without syncing the notebook?
In case you do not want to synchronize your contacts, either because there are too many or you are only looking to find a single person through their phone number or email, you can perform a specialized search.
It is important to emphasize that in order to reach a person by their phone number or email, they must have it associated with their Twitter account . Otherwise we will not be able to find the person’s profile or username.
To search for a person we only have to go to the part of the search engine that you will find at the top in the web application or at the bottom in the mobile application, denoted by a magnifying glass . Being there, it will only be enough to enter the phone number or email of the person you are looking for and press Search or on the magnifying glass.
At this point is where we will know if the phone number or email has an associated account. In the case of the mobile application, first the search engine will show us the Highlights . To search more precisely we will go to the People section where the account we are looking for should be found.
On the other hand, it may be the case that the account we are looking for is suspended or deactivated by the same user . For these situations, there are ways to reactivate or recover your own Twitter account so that it can be searched.
Finding all your friends on a social network is a great way to share with them. I hope this article has been helpful to you and don’t forget to share it on your social networks!
