  2. Add it as a contact.
  3. Navigate to iPhone's contact list and find newly added contact

Research direction

Start by reproducing the contact-list URL flow described in the issue on the stated iPhone and iOS versions. Trace the app's handling of https://t.me/@id123456 links and compare it with the expected deep-link behavior. Done means tapping the contact URL opens Telegram directly and navigates to the user identified by the link.
