Adding Friends to Telegram

Depending on which platform, the useable messenger client application is used - Android, iOS or Windows, to add friends and acquaintances to the contact list, various actions are being made to telegrams. At the same time, differences in the performance of specific steps are dictated by the features of the interface of this or that version of the means to communicate, the general principle of forming the book of contacts and the toolkit for this procedure is almost the same for all Telegram options.

Android

Telegram users for Android have formed today the most numerous audience of the participants in the information exchange of the information. Adding data on interlocutors to the list available from the android client to telegrams, occurs according to one of the following algorithms or combining them.

Method 1: Android phone book

The client of the service Telegram after its installation is quite closely interacting with Android and can use various components of the mobile OS to perform their own functions, including the "Contacts" module. The user added by the user to the phonebook android item by default is automatically appearing in Telegram and vice versa, the interlocutors from the messenger are displayed when calling "contacts" of the operating system.

Thus, when the data of any person is entered by the user to the Android phone book, this information must already be present in the messenger. If the friends are added to "Contacts" android, but not displayed in the Telegraph, most likely, the synchronization is disabled and / or the client application is not provided with access to the desired OS component when you first start (may be prohibited later).

To correct the situation, follow these steps. The order of the menu items listed below and their names may differ depending on the version of Android (on screenshots - Android 7 Nougat), then the main thing is to understand the general principle.

After the invitation participant establishes and activates the means to communicate, it will be an accessible correspondence with it and other features.
