 Find friends by uploading your contacts

When you upload your contacts to your account, we can help you find people you may know on Twitter. Then you’ll be able to find and follow contacts who have allowed other people to find them by their email address or phone number. 

To upload contacts on Twitter for Android:

1. Depending on your settings, tap the Connect icon  or tap the overflow icon  and select Connect.
2. Tap Find friends. You will see a prompt asking you to sync your contacts. 
3. Tap Sync contacts. (Note: When you sync your contacts, contacts from your device’s address book will be uploaded to Twitter on an ongoing basis.)
4. The accounts of contacts from your address book who are already on Twitter will be shown.
