Can someone see my phone number on yahoo mail

By default, Yahoo Mail does not display your phone number to others. However, there are a few scenarios where your phone number might be visible to others:

  1. Contact information: If you've added your phone number to your Yahoo Mail contact information, it may be visible to others who have your contact information or who are searching for you on Yahoo.
  2. Public profile: If you've created a public profile on Yahoo, your phone number might be visible to others who visit your profile page.
  3. Email signature: If you've included your phone number in your email signature, it may be visible to others who receive emails from you.
  4. Account security: In some cases, Yahoo may display your phone number as part of the account security process, such as when you're setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) or recovering your account.

To ensure your phone number remains private, you can take the following steps:

  1. Review your contact information: Check your Yahoo Mail contact information to ensure your phone number is not listed.
  2. Remove phone number from email signature: If you've included your phone number in your email signature, remove it to prevent it from being visible to others.
  3. Disable public profile: If you have a public profile on Yahoo, consider disabling it to prevent your phone number from being visible to others.
  4. Use a secure email client: Consider using a secure email client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, which can help protect your email account and phone number from unauthorized access.

Remember that even if you take these precautions, there's still a risk that your phone number could be obtained through other means, such as through a data breach or by someone who has access to your contact information.
