Introduction
Telegram is an incredibly popular messaging platform known for its robust security features and ease of use. While it primarily serves as a communication tool, many users find that managing contacts through Telegram can be beneficial, especially when collaborating on projects, maintaining social connections, or sharing information.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of adding new contacts, managing your contact list effectively, exporting and importing contact lists, and ensuring the safety of your Telegram account.
Adding New Contacts
1 Adding via Phone Number or Email
-
Phone Number: Simply enter the phone number and tap "Add". If the person has a Telegram username associated with their phone number, they'll see their username listed under "Contacts".
-
Email: Enter the email address of the person you want to add, then select the appropriate type (individual, group). This method allows you to quickly establish contact without needing to know their phone number first.
2 Using the Web Interface for Quick Contact Addition
- Navigate to Telegram's web interface.
- Click on "More" and select "Quick Add".
- Follow the prompts to either enter a phone number or email address, followed by confirming the addition.
Managing Your Contact List
1 Basic Information Fields
Each contact entry typically includes fields such as:
- Name
- Username (if applicable)
- Phone number
- Additional notes (e.g., birthday, location)
These fields help maintain clarity and organization within your contact list.
2 Searching for Specific Contacts
- Utilize advanced search options like:
- First name only
- Last name only
- Full name
- Email domain
- Phone number prefix
- Date of birth

This feature makes it easy to locate specific individuals based on various criteria.
Exporting Your Contact List

- Choose to export your current contact list in vCard format.
2 Converting .vcf to Other Formats
To convert your vCard file into other formats like CSV, Excel, or text files, you might need additional software tools.
Importing Contacts from External Sources
1 Importing from CSV Files

- Ensure your password is strong and unique.
2 Two-Factor Authentication
- Enabling two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring both a password and a code sent to your registered phone number or email.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can efficiently manage your contacts using Telegram, whether you're looking to collaborate with colleagues, stay connected with friends, or simply keep track of important contacts.
