Do you need to find your Facebook username and don't know where to look? Your Facebook username is the customizable part of your profile URL, which you can easily locate in your settings. Your username is different from your user ID on Facebook, which is a unique string of numbers used only by the apps and games you've connected to Facebook. This wikiHow will show you how to find your user ID and username on Facebook using a web browser on your computer, and using the Facebook mobile app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Things You Should Know
Find username on a computer: Click the profile icon and go to Settings & privacy → Settings → Accounts Center → Profiles → your Facebook account → Username.
Find username on mobile: Go to ☰ → Settings & privacy → Settings → Account Center → your Facebook account → Username.
Find user ID on a computer: Click the profile icon and go to Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites → View and Edit.
Find user ID on mobile: Go to ☰ → Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and websites → tap an app.

2 Click Settings & privacy. This will be underneath your profile name. Advertisement
3 Click Settings. A new page will open.
4 Click Accounts Center. You'll see this at the top-left corner of the page.
If you don't see this option, your account hasn't been migrated to Accounts Center yet. In this case, click Username in the center panel to view your Facebook username.

If you don't see your username, click your profile photo at the top-right corner of Facebook, then click your name to open your profile. Your Facebook username now appears in your web browser's address bar, right after https://facebook.com.
