With about 2 billion monthly active users and unlimited contacts, WhatsApp can be a tough place to find someone’s profile. Whether you want to text someone already in your contacts or start a conversation thread with a new number, here’s how to find someone on WhatsApp.
## How to find someone on WhatsApp using iPhone
Using WhatsApp on iPhone is pretty straightforward, so you should have no trouble finding or adding a contact on WhatsApp. Just follow the simple steps below to find someone on WhatsApp if you’re using an iPhone.
1. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Chats” tab located at the bottom of the screen.
   !
3. Tap on the “New Chat” icon located in the top right corner of the screen. It looks like a pencil and paper.
4. Type the name or phone number of the person you want to find in the search field at the top of the screen.
5. If the person is already in your contacts, their name and profile will pop up. If the person is not in your contacts, add them to your address book first so their profile will show up in the WhatsApp search.
6. Once their profile shows up in the search, just tap it to start a chat.
## How to find someone on WhatsApp using Android:
Finding someone on WhatsApp using an Android device is similar to what you do on an iPhone. Just follow the steps below.
1. Open WhatsApp on your Android device.
2. Go to the “Chats” tab on the top of your screen.
3. Tab the green chat bubble at the bottom right corner of the screen.
4. Tap the search icon at the top right corner and type the name or phone number of the person you want to find.
5. If you have saved this contact, their profile will pop up on the screen. If you haven’t, save the number to your contacts list first so you can find them on WhatsApp.
**Important note:** We recommend getting a user’s permission before contacting them on WhatsApp (or any other ). If you send mass spam emails, your account may get banned.

### Frequently Asked Questions
##### How do you find out if someone has a WhatsApp account?
Open WhatsApp on your phone and enter their name or contact number in the search bar. If their profile shows up, they have a WhatsApp account. Make sure you save the number to your address book first, so their profile is visible in the WhatsApp search.
##### How can you find someone on WhatsApp without their contacts?
The only way to find someone on WhatsApp without their contact information is to use the WhatsApp chat link unique to their profile. Go to the your browser and type: wa.me/”number.” (Replace “number” with the person’s actual number.)
##### How do strangers find you on WhatsApp?
Strangers can find you on WhatsApp if they have your phone number and add it to their contacts. Alternatively, they can use your “WhatsApp Me” link to start a chat with you directly. However, we recommend being careful about sharing your contact information with strangers to avoid spam and scams.

Most people have plenty of friends and family to add to their social media accounts but it can be time consuming to add them over and over again for a new account. Learn how to find contacts on Instagram and you’ll have an easy way to sync up information from your contact list and Facebook, too. Contact syncing is the simple option that allows Instagram to recommend accounts for you to potentially follow based on who is in your contact list.
## How to sync your contact list on Instagram
To turn on contact syncing, follow these steps from your profile when you have your account open:
1. Tap the hamburger menu.
2. Tap **Settings**.
3. Tap **Account**.
4. Tap **Contacts Syncing**.
5. Next to **Connect contacts**, move the slider to the right until it turns blue. Note: If it’s already blue, you’ve set this feature up previously and Instagram should already be making connection suggestions for you.
When you set this up, be aware that your contact list will be stored on Instagram’s servers. The company will routinely sync the list and store updates there for you; the list it shows you will be private and for your eyes only.
If you decide you don’t want Instagram to sync your contacts, just follow the steps above and move the slider to the left. When it turns gray, contact syncing will stop.
## How to find Facebook friends on Instagram
You can also use Contact Syncing on Instagram to locate friends on Facebook. To do this, however, you need to first connect your Facebook and Instagram accounts so that Instagram can properly sync information between the two social media accounts.
Follow these steps from your profile once you have Instagram open:
2. Tap **Settings.
   !**
3. Tap **Accounts Center.
4. Tap **Add Facebook account**.
   Note: If you have multiple Facebook accounts, you might see a screen asking you to ‘Continue as’ that account. Tap **Continue as (account).**
   5. When you see the following screen showing both your Instagram and Facebook accounts, tap **Continue.
   6. Tap **Yes, finish setup.
   When Accounts Center is set up, you will be prompted to share posts and stories and sync your profile photo. Simply follow the prompts by telling Instagram to continue or tapping “not now” if you don’t want a feature. Under the Accounts Center section, you will see both profiles.
   ### Search for people data on Beenverified Logo
   Find People online, lookup contact info, phone numbers, emails and more!

   Once both accounts are linked, as long as you have enabled contact syncing, you’ll see friends from Facebook on your Instagram list of suggested contacts.
