I'm concerned about my privacy on Telegram. Specifically, I want to know if using the app means that my phone number is exposed to others. Can someone see my phone number on Telegram? Does Telegram expose my phone number?

When you join a Telegram channel, your phone number becomes visible to everyone else in the channel by default.

This default setting can potentially expose you to unwanted contacts from spammers.
