Because there is one loyal reader of omcyber.com who asked how to find out someone else’s facebook username? So I wrote the answer in this post.
He asked because he was having problems having to enter his fb username to login to the termux script. Maybe the same as your problem?
In addition to being used to login, facebook usernames are also useful for distinguishing between one facebook account and another.
If the username is written after https://facebook.com/, it will go to a facebook account profile.
So to find out your facebook username, you can see the address/link from your facebook profile. Because each profile link contains different characters from one account to another.
Well, here is the complete tutorial.
How to find out Facebook username from profile link
1. Login to Facebook account from browser
The purpose of using a browser is to make it easy to copy the link when you are logged in to the profile section of your account.
The one I use is the chrome browser. You can also use other browser applications.
Just open the browser application then access the facebook.com site and enter your email and password.
2. Go to the facebook profile section
For profiles, it can be owned by anyone, it’s up to you to know whose username is.
I’m just an example of my own facebook account username to make it easier.
So just press the profile photo on the left of the menu to make a status. It will automatically go to the profile section.
Or if you want to know someone else’s property, then just search for the account and then go to the profile.
3. Copy the link in the browser address box
Tap the browser address box at the top. Look at the picture so you don’t get it wrong.
Then copy everything.
4. Take the username after facebook.com/
Paste the address first into a text editor or something else. Then see the section after facebook.com/here.
https://m.facebook.com/TheOmalip
That is the username of the facebook account.
How about using the fb lite application?
The method is the same, you only need to go to the profile section then copy the link.
Find facebook username from fb lite app
- Click the menu icon
- Go to view your profile
- Press the 3 dots below the facebook bio
- Select copy link to profile
- Paste in a text editor then see the section after https://facebook.com/
Well, that’s how to find out your facebook username. In essence, you only need to take the link when you are in the account profile section.
Then what about the Facebook ID?
Alright, I’ll write down the answer below.
How to Find out Facebook ID
Same with username, Facebook ID is also useful for logging in and directing users to the profile section. The difference is, if the ID is just a collection of numbers.
There are 2 ways to find ID, namely manually from the status link and automatically using online tools.
Manual version, you have to go to comments on a facebook status then copy the link.
While the automatic version, you just need to go to the find my facebook id site and then enter the username.
Here’s the complete tutorial.
How to see facebook ID from post/status link
1. Go to a facebook status/post
Please find the Facebook status that you want to know the ID and then press the comments menu. You can use a browser or FB lite, it’s up to you.
2. Copy the facebook status link
For those who use a browser, just press the address box and then copy all the links.
As for FB Lite users, press dot 3 (top right corner) then select copy link.
3. Take the set of numbers on the address
Because there are 2 versions, namely from the browser and FB lite, so please pay close attention.
Browser version:
Facebook ID is located after &id= here
FB lite version:
ID is after facebook.com/ here
Okay, now I share the second way which is easier.
How to Retrieve facebook ID from Find My ID
Find my id is an online generator tool that works automatically to retrieve the id from the facebook account. How it works just enter the username from the target facebook then click generate. Here are the steps.
