Method 1: Find People Using Their Phone Number on Instagram

You can use Instagram’s native contact syncing option to find people by their phone number.

Step 1:Open theInstagramapp and tap on yourprofile iconat the bottom-right corner.

Step2:Tap thehamburger menuicon at the top-right corner > selectFollow and invite friends.

Step 3:Tap onFollow contactsand enable Instagram to access your phone contacts.

After you grant the app access to your contacts, Instagram will automatically sync phone numbers from your phone to your account.

Step 1:Open theInstagramapp and tap theSearchicon at the bottom Menu Bar.

Step 2:Enter thephone numberof your contacts and tap onAccounts.

If the user has registered their number to their account, you will spot their name. If you cannot find your friends by their phone numbers, there are only two reasons: they have registered using a different number or have not added a number at all.
