Facebook is one of the largest social networking websites in the world with over two billion users. It is a great platform to connect with people from all over the world. However, connecting with people on Facebook can be quite difficult if you don't have their full name or email address. Fortunately, Facebook provides the option to find people using their phone number as well. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to find someone on Facebook using their phone number.
Step 1: Open Facebook
The first step in finding someone on Facebook using their phone number is to open the Facebook homepage on your device. You will be required to login if you are not already logged in to your account.
Step 2: Click on Search Bar
Once you have logged in to your Facebook account, locate the search bar at the top of the page. This is located in the middle of your screen on the blue bar that says, "Search Facebook". Click on the bar to open the Facebook search box.
Step 3: Enter Phone Number
Enter the phone number of the person you are trying to find in the search box. Make sure to enter the full phone number, including the area code.
Once you have entered the phone number, click on the "search" button. Facebook will then initiate a search for the phone number you entered, and will display the search results on a new page that opens.
Step 5: Filter Results
At times, you may find multiple Facebook profiles show up in the search results for the same phone number. Therefore, to eliminate possible confusion, filter the search results. This step is particularly important if the person you are trying to find has a common name.
Filter By Location
If you know where the person you are looking for lives, you can filter the results by location. To do this, scroll down to the bottom of the search results page and click the "Filter" button. Then, select "Location" and enter the city and state of the person you are looking for. This will eliminate irrelevant results that do not match the location you specified.
Filter By Age
If you know the approximate age of the person you are trying to find, you can also filter the search results by age. To do this, click on the "Filter" button at the bottom of the search results page, select the "Age" option, and enter the age range of the person you are looking for. Facebook will then eliminate irrelevant search results that do not meet the criteria you specified.
Step 6: View Profile
After filtering the search results, click on the profile picture or name of the person you are trying to find. This will take you to their Facebook profile. If their profile is set to private, you may not be able to see all their profile information.
Conclusion
Searching for someone on Facebook using their phone number is an easy process. However, it's essential to note that they must have their phone number associated with their Facebook profile for you to find them. It's also important to respect their privacy and not to use any information you may find on their profile in any way that may be harmful to them.
