I cannot see my contacts on Telegram, nor add them to Telegram even though they do have a Telegram account
Guys please help me...
I have added over 100 contact numbers (manually) to my phone book recently and I cannot see any single one of them on Telegram contacts list, it only gives me an option to invite them to Telegram (but they all have Telegram accounts already!).
I tried to add their number directly on Telegram and it still says they don't have an account.
People can see me on Telegram, but I cannot see them.
I have this problem on two different phones with two different numbers, for the past few weeks now.
So far I have tried:
deleting the cache
uninstalling the app and downloading it from Telegram website
unsyncing and deleting synced contacts and then syncing them back again (in Telegram privacy settings as well as syncing them in Android settings)
reinstalling the app and then syncing the contacts in Android Accounts settings before turning on Telegram
updating Android to newest version
I have asked these contacts to change their privacy settings to make sure their number is visible to everyone
and probably few other things...
I can only see these contacts if they reach out to me first or if I add them by their nickname.
In my case, this problem is account-specific. I have two Telegram accounts on the same iPhone using the same contact list. One account synchronizes new contacts instantly, while the other does not. The issue has persisted for several months and occurs on both iPhone and Android.
This suggests a server-side synchronization issue affecting only one account.
I am experiencing the exact same issue on iOS. My account seems to be completely broken when it comes to contacts. Contact synchronization is not working at all, and Telegram doesn't see any of my newly added contacts, constantly showing the "User not registered" error. Clearing the cache, deleting imported data, and resetting sync settings did absolutely nothing to fix this. It has been happening for weeks. Please look into this server-side bug!
