Option 1: PC version

The phone number, like other personal data of Google users, is confidential information and cannot be disclosed. Therefore, there is no easy and open way to find a Google account using this identifier. Let's take a look at the only method how you can find out the email from the phone data.

Important: This method only works if you are the owner of an account with access to the phone number that appears on your profile. You will not be able to obtain information about third parties.
