2️⃣ Set Your Username

In the profile page, you may notice that the username field is empty.

This is because Telegram accounts are usually created with a phone number.

Click the Username field and enter your desired ID.

Once set, you can now message yourself via this username.

💡 Tip:

• You can be contacted via @username even without sharing your phone number.
• If privacy is a concern, only share your username when necessary.
