Introduction To Transfer Telegram Contacts To Phone
Older versions of the Telegram mobile application provided the ability to export the contact list in various formats. Unfortunately, the Telegram development team decided to remove the aforementioned option for unknown reasons. However, you can still transfer contacts using the synchronization feature, through the Telegram desktop version and third-party software.
In the following article, we will describe all the possible methods to transfer Telegram contacts to Phone.
How to Synchronize contacts in Telegram Android?
The best way to integrate Telegram contacts with device memory or cloud accounts like Google is to synchronize contacts internally in Telegram. In this way, Telegram contacts will be transferred to your Google or iCloud account or phone memory, and numbers that were not in the Telegram contact list in the past will be added to this messenger. Therefore, before doing this, please note that new contacts may be added to your Telegram list unintentionally.
To sync contacts on Telegram Android, you need to follow these steps:
– Log in to the Telegram app on your phone.
