You can use the native option of contact syncing on Instagram to find people using their phone number. You can also use the Search tab in the app and enter the phone number to find the user.
Step 1: Open the Instagram app and tap on you profile icon at the bottom-right corner.
Step 2: Tap the hamburger menu icon at the top-right corner and then select Follow and invite friends.
Step 3: Tap on Follow contacts and then enable Instagram to access your phone contacts.
After granting the app access to your contact, Instagram will automatically sync phone numbers from your phone to your account.
If you cannot find your friends by their phone number, then there only two reasons. Either they have registered using a different number, or they haven’t added a number at all.
