Twitter is a fantastic tool for creating contacts on twitter for networking, in addition to being a great platform for staying up to date on what’s happening around the world. However, if you’ve never used the Bird app before, figuring out who you should follow might be a little bit intimidating. Because Twitter is focused more on thoughts and words than it is on looks and visuals, it is the ideal place to interact with individuals you already know and have engaging conversations. Therefore, sign up for Twitter and begin communicating with your coworkers, classmates, and old buddies from school. Both the mobile app and the website version of Twitter will be used to demonstrate how to find your Twitter contacts.

Method 1. Using the Twitter app

Users of the iPhone and Android operating systems should have success with this strategy.

1. Launch the Twitter app on your mobile device, then navigate to your profile by pressing the photo icon located in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
2. In the menu, select the ‘Setting and Privacy’ option.
3. Proceed to the “Privacy and Safety” section.
4. Under the section labeled “Discoverability and contacts,” scroll all the way down and choose the “Discoverability and contacts” option.
5. Make sure that “Let others find you by your email address” and “Let others find you by your phone number” are both turned on.
6. To import contacts, turn on the relevant toggle.
7. When prompted, you should confirm your action by pressing the “OK” button.

As soon as you enable the option to import contacts, Twitter will immediately begin searching your phone’s address book for those who are already using Twitter. Depending on how many people you have saved in your phone’s contacts, this process might take a few minutes. You will be presented with a list of your Twitter contacts, and you can follow any of them by selecting the “Follow” button that is located next to their name. After that point, the ‘people to follow’ section that is located on the home screen of your Twitter account will now include your contacts.

Method 2. Using the Twitter web app

If you use twitter.com, you have the option of activating a feature that enables other users to locate you by providing either your email address or your phone number. However, in order for this approach to work, you will need to have an app on a mobile device that can sync your contacts.

1. You can access your Twitter account by going to twitter.com on your computer and signing in.
2. Choose ‘Setting and Privacy’ after clicking on the ‘More’ option that is located in the sidebar on the left.
3. On the following page, in the sidebar on the left, choose the option that says “Privacy and safety.”
4. Scroll all the way down and then choose “Discoverability and contacts” from the sidebar on the right.
5. Make sure that “Let others find you by your email address” and “Let others find you by your phone number” are both turned on.

You will now see an option to “Manage contact” underneath the two options that you have just activated. Simply clicking on it will grant Twitter access to your contacts on any mobile device with which it is paired. Keep in mind that in order for this to work, the Twitter app has to be downloaded and installed on your phone. That is the sum of the matter. You have successfully connected Twitter with your contact list. The ‘People to follow’ part of your Twitter profile will include a list of all of your Twitter contacts, as well as a list of any new contacts that have joined Twitter.

Commonly asked questions

If I don’t use the Twitter app, how can I find my contacts on Twitter?

If you don’t use the Twitter app, you can still discover your contacts on twitter.com by linking your email address to your account and importing the contacts from the address book associated with your email account.

Why am I unable to locate my contacts on Twitter?

After following the methods outlined above, if you are still unable to locate your contacts on Twitter, it is most probable that they have not enabled the setting that allows others to discover them on Twitter by providing their phone number or email address.

How can I locate my contacts on Twitter if they do not have the same email address or phone number?

You won’t be able to find someone using the import contacts tool if their phone number or email address is different from what you already have on file for them. You will need to perform a manual search for them using either their username or their real name.

Conclusion

Import your contacts into Twitter, then start following the people you find there. This will allow you to communicate with your friends on Twitter. Turning on the import contacts feature in the Twitter app or on twitter.com is all that is required of you to get started. After you have done that, the area labeled “People to follow” will be updated to include your contacts. If you follow more people on Twitter who have interests that are similar to yours and engage with those people, the Twitter algorithm will learn about your interests and suggest other people to follow.
