It is possible that you have ever gone to message someone and not found them. Then you will wonder why contacts do not appear in Telegram . The reality is that there are several reasons why it may be due.
The first reason could be that this person does not have a Telegram account or has not downloaded the application. This is also possible with people you have previously talked to at some point. And it’s possible that she had the app and then deleted it, so that person stopped appearing in your contact list.
It’s also possible that the person has set up Telegram so that no one can find them . That way, unless they talk to you first, they won’t appear in your contact list so you can find them easily.
In the event that no contact appears on the social network, it is most likely a permissions problem. Check that you have given the application the necessary permissions to access your contacts and everything will be resolved easily.
How to import contacts into Telegram
If you’re wondering how to import contacts into Telegram , the best way to make sure everyone you have on your calendar appears in the app is as follows:
- Access the application settings menu
- Login Privacy and security
- Near the bottom of the list, look at the Contacts category
- Check the Sync contacts box
This option is usually turned on by default . Therefore, if it’s your first time using the application, the most normal thing is that you don’t have to do anything. All the contacts you had in your phone’s calendar will appear in your contact list, the same way it appears in WhatsApp. And whenever one of your contacts lands on Telegram, they will automatically join your contact list. But if for some reason you turned this feature off at some point, as you’ve seen, the steps to turn it back on are simple.
Note that even if you don’t have a synced contact, that person will be able to contact you if they have you on their list and you haven’t blocked them.
Why am I getting contacts that I don’t have on Telegram
You may have ever looked at your contact list and wondered why I get contacts I don’t have on Telegram . The reason is probably because you have People Nearby turned on. This feature is a messaging platform tool that allows you to connect with people who are geographically close. Approximately, the radius in which it searches for contacts is about 15 kilometers or so.
If you don’t like the idea too much, if you have Android you can disable it in the three-line menu. There you will have to go to People nearby and then choose the Make me invisible option. In iOS you will also need to choose the Make me invisible option, but in this case it is located within Contacts > Find people nearby. You can turn this feature on and off whenever you want.
This is a function that must be explicitly selected after entering Contacts, and only shows a list of users who have previously decided to make themselves visible in that list.
