Instagram is the best medium to connect these days. On this platform, you can follow anyone (friend, family, or unknown) and chat with anyone if the other person welcomes you. But we do not know under which name any known person is on Instagram. But there is a solution to this and that is using a phone number. If you want to find someone’s Instagram profile using their phone number, then, in this blog post, we will tell you how to do it.
There is no direct toggle feature in Instagram that needs to be enabled in Settings to find someone’s Instagram profile using their phone number. Still, you can do it easily by following a simple trick using Instagram Settings and Privacy. Let’s see in detail how we can find it.
How to Find Someone’s Instagram Profile Using Phone Number
If you want to follow and talk to someone on Instagram but you don’t have their username then you don’t need to worry. We are going to tell you how you can find someone’s Instagram profile using their mobile number.
