As a social platform most known for sharing, Instagram allows people to display their contact info at their leisure. However, not everyone is a big fan of it. If you’ve scrolled through someone’s Instagram profile but cannot find their phone number¹, don’t worry. In this article, we’re showing you 4 useful ways to help you find the phone number of an Instagram account, quickly and easily…

1. BeenVerified

BeenVerified is one of the best tools to track down someone’s phone number.

From the report, you’ll also gain insight into the person’s family, email address, marriage records, criminal records, and footprint on 55+ social networks, if available.

Curious about not just the Instagram friend’s contact info but also what social media accounts they have? PeopleLooker may just help you scratch that itch.

PeopleLooker has a robust engine that digs deep into 120+ social platforms. This means that besides getting the phone number, you’re also likely to find out a person’s activity on major & niche networks – be it Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Tinder, OkCupid, Bumble, Quora, or Reddit.

2. Type the username of the person whose identity you wish to find out about and hit Search.

FAQs

If you’re wondering about the specifics of searching for and using phone numbers found through Instagram, here are some frequently asked questions:

These FAQs cover common questions around the legality, effectiveness, and extent of what you can find out about a person from their Instagram username:

1: Is it legal to find someone’s phone number using these methods?

While the information found through these search methods is publicly available, using someone’s personal information like their phone number without consent for purposes like marketing or harassment may be illegal. Make sure you have a legitimate reason to lookup the number.

2: What if I can’t find the person’s phone number using their Instagram username?

If none of the search methods provide the phone number, the user may not have shared their number publicly. You may need to try searching for them on other social networks or websites to find a phone number associated with their name.

3: Can I find the phone number just by searching on Instagram?

No, Instagram does not allow you to search for users by phone number. You need to use external search sites and tools to match the Instagram username to a phone number.

4: Is it possible to get someone’s phone number from a private Instagram account?

Most likely not, since private profiles limit the amount of public information available. The search engines rely on public data, so a private account makes it much harder to find info like a phone number.

5: What other information can I find out about someone from their Instagram username?

These search sites can provide additional info associated with the person like their full name, location, workplace, email addresses, other social media profiles, and more. However, the available information varies for each person.

That’s the end of this post. Hopefully, the five people search tools have pointed you in the right direction in finding the phone number of an Instagram.
