Telegram continues to work on introducing new features to its users. The biggest addition to the instant messaging platform is the Telegram Premium subscription to interact with your contacts and groups in new ways. And now you also have the option to create and share your phone number link.
This feature is implemented with Telegram’s latest update, keeping user privacy in mind. This post will show you how to create your phone number link on Telegram.
Since we will be showing the steps for Android and iPhone users, we recommend that you download and install the latest version of the Telegram app on your phone.
How to create your phone number link
If you create and share your phone number link, your contact can open a chat with you directly on Telegram. This link is in the format ‘https://t.me/+123456789’ including your full phone number in the international code. Here’s how to access it on the Telegram app.
For iPhone users
Step 1: Open Telegram on your iPhone.
Step 2: Click the Settings icon in the lower right corner.
Step 3: Scroll down a bit and tap on Privacy and Security.
Step 4: Tap Phone number.
Your default phone number link will show up on your screen.
Step 5: Click the link to copy it. Then share it with your contacts.
Please note that your phone number link will only work depending on who you have allowed to find you on Telegram with your phone number. So make sure to change the Privacy Settings to your preference.
You can also add an Exception for people who can see your phone number on Telegram, including your contacts.
