How can you find someone on WhatsApp?

Finding someone on WhatsApp depends on whether you have their phone number saved in your contacts or if you need to add them based on other information. Here's how you can find someone on WhatsApp:

### If You Have Their Phone Number Saved:

1. **Open WhatsApp**: Launch WhatsApp on your device.

2. **Chat Tab**: Go to the "Chat" tab or screen.

3. **Search for Contact**:
   - Tap on the search icon (typically a magnifying glass or search bar) at the top of the screen.
   - Enter the phone number of the person you want to find. WhatsApp will automatically search through your contacts.

4. **Start Chat**: If the person is using WhatsApp with the number you entered and is in your contacts, their name will appear in the search results. Tap on their name to start a chat with them.

### If You Don't Have Their Phone Number Saved:

1. **Invite to WhatsApp**:
   - If you don't have the person's phone number saved in your contacts, you can ask them to send you a message on WhatsApp.
   - Once they message you, their contact information will appear in WhatsApp, and you can then save their number to your contacts.

2. **Share Contact Information**:
   - Alternatively, you can ask the person to share their WhatsApp contact information (phone number) directly with you.
   - Once you receive their number, follow the steps above to search for and start a chat with them.

### Additional Tips:

- **Privacy Settings**: If someone has set their privacy settings to limit who can find them on WhatsApp, you may not be able to see their profile or message them even if you have their number saved.

- **Number Format**: Make sure you enter the correct phone number format including the country code to find the person on WhatsApp.

By following these steps, you can easily find and connect with someone on WhatsApp either by searching through your contacts or receiving their contact information directly.
