Is it possible to find someone on Facebook using their phone number?

It is considered to be one of the easiest ways to find someone you know. You can use their phone number to find their Facebook account on Facebook provided they have linked their number to their account.

Use the Facebook app to do it. Download the Android app from Google Play Store and the iOS app from the App Store.

Click the small magnifying glass icon, and type in the number that you want to search. The format of the number does not matter as long as you’re entering the right digits.

The search button typically appears at the bottom right corner of the keypad of the phone.

The search engine on Facebook will typically return a single user that has the entered number registered with their account.

It might be due to the following reasons:

1. The phone number of the person you’re trying to look for was set on private mode in his/her account or on their profile
2. The person has not registered their phone number with their account
3. A different phone number has been registered to their account

Log in or sign up to your account on the Facebook website.

Click on the search bar and repeat the same process that has been written for the mobile phone application version. (See Can you really see who viewed your profile on Facebook?)

If you’re using your browser to search for the person, you may have to enter the area code as well. This is not necessary for mobile devices.
