People are constantly searching for something on the Internet. From interesting articles to searching for people. This is due to several circumstances:

• loss of contacts with loved ones, friends, and colleagues;
• desire to return money borrowed;
• need to expand the client base or establish partnerships.

Thus, people pay attention to hidden profiles, as this is dictated not only by personal circumstances but also by the desire to establish a business and expand the number of clients. So, do you want to know how to find someone online? Let’s figure it out.

By phone contacts

Very often, users link phone numbers to personal accounts on social networks. But you can hardly know whether the subscriber’s phone is linked to the resource account. If we assume the mobile is still linked to the social network, then you need to use a particular program. For this, you can use the Social Catfish application. Using it, you will get all the information about the caller on social networks. 

Checking public posts

Do you think your client has a public blog on social media? Then, you need to check public posts on the Internet. The following services are available for this:

• Spokeo;
• Intelliusl;
• PeopleLocker.

Their search filters will quickly find the person you need, if they post public posts on the World Wide Web. All of the listed applications are completely safe and easy to use.

Using Google and other search engines

Google has the simplest interface for finding the desired social network profile. You only need to enter the person’s name with the “social” tag. Thanks to the speed of processing and the “Social search” option, the profile of the desired person, if it is available on the Internet, will be found. As you can see, this fairly quick method allows you to find everything you need.

By Google images

Knowing that a social network profile may contain a picture, you can also find the person. It’s straightforward. You need to:

• go to the image.google.com portal;
• upload a photo or paste a web address into the search bar;
• get information about a person.

After that, you can contact the account owner in the social network. For example, he owes you money, or it is the profile of an army friend whom you have long wanted to find and communicate with.

Manual search

Find popular social media and enter the user’s data or phone number (if you have one) into the search bar. This function works simply because web resources have received several unique tools that ensure the simplicity of search operations. You can search for data on the following social networks:

• Instagram. Here, you can find a user by name. The system does not allow searching for an individual by phone number.
• Facebook. Phone number, username, and email address are the main search parameters.
• Twitter. You only need to enter the name and select the desired option.

As you can see, it is straightforward: just a few clicks – and you’re done. You can search for users in other social networks in approximately the same way.

Legality of searching for users through social networks

Good reasons are needed to search for public information about users. The following circumstances are considered legal:

• Search for a missing friend, family member, colleague;
• checking information about the user’s business reputation;
• searching for a debtor who has borrowed a large sum.

But there are also illegal purposes. If you will stalk someone or follow someone, then this is punishable by law. This is a violation of confidentiality and the right to privacy. Government agencies can take such measures with a particular sanction or licensed private companies. Otherwise, this is a violation of the law, entailing liability.
