How to add your phone number to your account

Adding a phone number to your account is a great step toward a better X experience. If you’re thinking about adding your number, here are a few benefits:

• Keeping your account secure. With a phone number on your account, you’ll be able to enroll in security features like login verification.
• Faster account recovery. If you ever lose access to your account, having a phone number attached can make it easier for you to get back in to X.
• Connect with friends and contacts. With a phone number on your account, you can easily connect with people you know. Read more about allowing others to find you by your phone number.
