A note for people with US numbers who aren't finding their info:
> And finally, one last note on the data load process: At the time of publishing this blog post, all phone numbers beginning with international codes 4, 6, 8 and 8 have completed loading. The other codes are in progress and may take several hours more before they're searchable.
US numbers begin with international code 1, and it seems that they aren't yet searchable.
I was surprised that mine hadn't come up, since I've had a few Facebook accounts over the years with my phone number, and this explains it.

- nohuck13 6y agoThanks. For anybody getting a miss and wondering if they messed up the formatting, my US number is coming up now, formatted with a vanilla +1-123-456-7890.
- heleninboodler 6y agoMy US number also came up when entered as 12345678901 (1-prefixed but with no extra formatting or chars)

- untouchable 6y agoAccording to the edit at the bottom of the post, "1" is now complete.
- yosito 6y agoInteresting. I've still got no hits, which surprises me.
- hendersoon 6y agoOnly ~32m of ~190m USA Facebook accounts were in this leak. The US is surprisingly poorly represented-- a good thing!
- codethief 6y agoAs a foreigner I would say this is a bad thing. Ultimately, it'll be the outcry (or lack thereof) in the US that will determine whether or not Facebook will start taking people's privacy more seriously.
- hendersoon 6y agoIt's still 32 million people, that's huge. But you're totally correct there.
- hanspeter 6y agoGiven that the overall share of US accounts on Facebook is in the same range (FB has 2.6 billion users in total), I would say the US is represented exactly as expected.
- PostThisTooFast 6y agoYou gave a real phone number to Facebook? Egads.
