- If your message remains not delivered, the person might have Telegram, or might have blocked you.
Search for their Username
There are many Telegram users who create unique usernames. To check:
- Open Telegram app.
- Enter their username or name on search bar.
- If they have a public profile, their account will appear on screen.

Ask them Directly
Sometimes the most basic method is the right one. All you need to do is to check if that person uses Telegram.
There are users who link their Telegram account to a platform like Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Search by their username on their profiles and search for any link or mention of their username.
Private Accounts: Even if you do not manage to find someone, you might still see the person using Telegram with a private account or a different username.
Blocked Accounts: If your contact is blocked, they will be gone even if they are online on Telegram.
