Profile links will lead your friends and colleagues to your personal profile. They can see your name, bio, and other details that you have kept public. A lot will depend on your privacy and security settings too. All the more reason to share your profile links.

I am using an iPhone as an example here but the steps are mostly the same for Android too.

  1. Open Telegram and tap on Settings tab at the bottom and you should see your profile pic, number, and Telegram @username. So your Telegram profile account link would be https://t.me/username.
  2. If you haven’t set a username yet, you can do so easily. Simply tap on the Edit button at the top right corner and then tap on Username.
  3. You can try different usernames to find one that’s available to claim. Once you find one, simply tap on Done to save that username. Each username is unique and may contain a-z, 0-9, and underscores only. The minimum length is 5 characters. Your new Telegram profile link will be displayed at the bottom automatically.

You can also share your contact with others using the share menu feature of iPhone and Android.

However, you can also share with third-party apps like Slack, WhatsApp, etc. by simply tapping on the universal share icon.
