Please add the attached to the telephone user field:
media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/telephone/config/(ADD FILE HERE)

Run the Privacy Discover Tool

Add the following to the language file, or create an override for the following language string:
COM_EASYSOCIAL_PROFILES_FIELD_TELEPHONE = Who can view my telephone field

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would also recommend adding an update to the EasySocial Installer to change the "Mobile Phone" field from a text field to a telephone field and setting the default privacy to Only Me.

I had created a custom phone field in EasySocial 3.2.x because users were complaining about the potential to be doxed.

Adding this additional privacy will help prevent this from happening from unsuspected users.

i noticed this too, that would be a very good recommendation to adaped the installer to change the mobile field from text to telephone field with "only me" privacy setting.

If you add those things above it will work, but would love to see this added to the core of EasySocial.
