It's not true, the users might see your number if you won't change your privacy settings. So I advise you to double check it

Anyone who has telegram but doesn't have your number won't be able to see that you're using this app. But if they do have both, they'll receive a notification that you joined telegram.

 go to Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Phone Number --> Nobody - I checked it and it works - nobody will be able to see your number.

There is no setting to hide the number, the number will already be hidden if the other person is not having your number saved in his phone on first place.
I think everyone that message you on the app can see your phone number
I think no one ecxept you.
Hi!

No-one who is not in your contacts. If you add someone to contacts or they search you by number - they can add you.

Try experimenting with a friend or get a sim-card to try it out yourself if youre not sure.

By the way, if you don't want to use your own number - there's a number of services online that rent numbers for a fee, sometimes just for a short time.

Cheers!
Only if your number is in his phone book.
who have your number saved Cheesy
no one can see it except the one who has your number in their phone book
i think no one can see your number there except the people who already has your number.
Yes, only members who are present in your contact list can see your mobile number
Those are present in your contact list can see your mobile number
All of you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

@OP - This is customizable, go to Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Phone Number

You can choose between everyone, your contacts or no one, and can add exceptions to allow certain users or groups to be allowed to see your number.

Well, nobody can see your contact on Telegram unless you do so.Grin
But they can see the contact:
  • If the person is in your contact list and you send a message or vice versa Wink
  • If you had shared your number via Contact info Cheesy

You had a point only owner of mobile number can know it. And if I'm not mistaken if the number stored in our mobile have also an telegram account he/he automatically can we seen their names at our telgram account.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.
Mobile number on Telegram are "private" as far as I can tell. This is why I prefer it to other messenging apps.
Unfortunately it was hacked last year and some phone numbers were probably stolen by the hackers.
Hopefully we will have other similar applications that do not require phone numbers.

It depends only on your settings, so just set it as you want.

Yeah only the owner of the telegram account can see the phone number and that is the reason there is no settings to hide the phone number

I recently joined Telegram for the first time.

Now I have joined a couple of groups which were promoted on Bitcointalk.

I am not sure if admin or members of those groups can see my user name only or if they also can see my mobile number?

Thanks for your help!

You need change options in settings deflaut is Everybody change to Nobody.
Thanks earlier I dont go into settings

unknown users don't have access to your mobile number unless you share it with them.the only user that can view your mobile number are those users that's in your mobile contacts.

Only those people who have your phone number can see it, usually they get a notification when you register in Telegram.
