Frequently asked questions

How does NumSwift find phone numbers?

It scans the text you paste with libphonenumber-js, which is built on Google’s libphonenumber metadata, and keeps the numbers that are valid under a country’s numbering plan. Numbers written with + and a country code are recognized for any country. Numbers without one are read using the default country shown under the input, which you can change.

Can I message someone on WhatsApp without saving their number?

Yes. Each extracted number has a WhatsApp button that opens a chat through a wa.me link. WhatsApp also lets you type a number into its new-chat search; NumSwift is quicker when the number is buried in text or when you have several.

Do the call and text buttons work on a computer?

They open your computer’s calling or messaging app if one is set up, such as FaceTime on a Mac or Phone Link on Windows. On a phone they open the dialer and the messaging app.

What happens to the text I paste?

It is processed in your browser and never uploaded. The list of extracted numbers is kept in this browser’s storage until you clear it. We collect anonymous usage analytics, which never include the text or the numbers.

How much text can I paste?

Up to 100,000 characters at a time. The list keeps your most recent 1,000 numbers, and you can copy them all or download them as a CSV file.
