October 16, 2024, Written by 0 comment

Interestingly, you can discover someone’s social media account with their contacts if you are uncertain about their profile name. Fortunately, all social media platforms allow this, provided the account owner hasn’t turned off this technique.

We will reveal the step-by-step procedure for unearthing an individual Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram profile.

Elaborate Steps for Unveiling a Social Media Account with Contact Information

1 – X (Twitter)

Firstly, you can search the account directly on Twitter’s search bar if the owner links their contact with their X account. Alternatively, you can utilize a third-party app like Spynger to get the owner’s X account, provided you know their phone number.

Unknown to many, these tools have a big database that helps to match the account to the owner.

2 – Facebook

Here is how to unmask a FB account owner with their contact information:

(a)   Visit Facebook’s website or open FB’s official app.

(b)   Sign in to your Facebook account with your phone number or email address (and password).

(c)   Find the ‘Search’ bar on the top-left section of this page.

(d)   Type or paste the phone number of the account you’re searching for in the respective textbox.

(e)   Press the ‘Enter’ button or click the ‘Search’ icon.

Facebook will display the associated profile if the owner has not disabled this technique under the privacy section of Settings.

3 – Instagram

Today, Instagram’s search functionality lets users find an account with the owner’s linked phone number or their user name. Let us go through the recommended procedure:

  • Go to Instagram’s website.
  • Sign in to your Instagram account.
  • Navigate to Instagram’s search bar.
  • Paste or type the account owner’s phone number.

Instagram will display the linked account owner if they have authorized them in the ‘Privacy & Settings’ section.

4 – TikTok

TikTok is among the few social media apps with the most powerful search functionality to help you connect with the friends on your contact list. Here is the simple procedure to unveil all your friends’ TikTok profiles in seconds.

  1. Browse TikTok website

  4. Access the ‘Profile’ section of your TikTok account.

(ii)   Locate the ‘Add Friends’ option.

(iii)  Click the plus symbol (+) to initiate the account search.

(iv)  Enter the correct phone number (including the country code).

(v)   Click the search option.

Sometimes, you may not discover a registered social media profile with a contact for the following reasons:

1 – Blocked Account

Unfortunately, you can’t unearth an account owner’s profile if they have blocked you on Facebook or any other social media platform.

Secondly, Facebook can’t search a profile by phone number if the account holder deleted or deactivated it. Many social media companies wipe out a user’s profile once you authorize them for whatever reason.

Social media owners introduced advanced settings to help users search an account owner’s profile with their username or phone number. Interestingly, you can get one’s social media profile even when they turn off this setting when you use a third-party app.
