Limitations:
⦁ X (Twitter) doesn’t directly search by phone number: We tried to search using a phone number on the X app and we can assure you that you can’t search the X app for accounts by phone number itself. There is no built-in function for this.
⦁ While some people on social media complain about their internet or Netflix not working, they might accidentally reveal their phone number in their posts. If you’re lucky, you might find someone’s X profile if they’ve publicly shared their phone number.
Alternatives to phone number search:
⦁ Username search: If you have any usernames or emails linked to the person, searching X directly with those might be more successful.
⦁ Mutual connections: Look for mutual friends or acquaintances who might follow both of you on the X platform.
Want to see if your mysterious crush or that coworker with the cryptic tweets has an X account? Here’s how to dig up the dirt (the good kind!) using just their phone number and Google:
⦁ Open your web browser: Launch your preferred web browser on your computer or mobile device.
⦁ Go to Google: Navigate to the Google homepage by entering www.google.com in the address bar.
⦁ Enter the search query: In the search bar, type the phone number followed by the word “Twitter.” or “X” For example, if the phone number is 123–456–7890, you would enter 123–456–7890 Twitter.
⦁ Review the search results: Press Enter or click the search button. Look through the search results for any links that might indicate a connection between the phone number and a X profile.
