Find Google Chat Contacts' Phone Number and Email Address

Google Chat window displays the contact name, and it is common for a user to recognize his chat contacts with the display name only.

You are not alone if you do not know the email address of a friend who has been in your Google Hangouts Chat contact for a long time.

However, this situation can lead to some issues.

For example, you want to email him but cannot find his Gmail address. Another example is when someone has changed the Hangouts display name, and you cannot recollect that person.

A critical issue is dealing with an imposter who uses the same Google Chat display name as your friend. You will face problems if you have two Google Chat contacts with the same display name and image.

If you know the email address, it will be easy to identify the person who has recently changed the Google Hangouts chat display name.

There are some methods to find out the email address and Phone Number of a Google Chat friend. Let us check them one by one.

1. Find Gmail ID From the Google Hangouts Chat List

   If you are accessing your Google Hangouts through Gmail, in most cases, you can see the email id by simply placing the mouse over the specific chat friend in the contact list.

   On an iPhone or Android phone, tap the Google Chat contact name. It will display the email address of the user.
