Your Discord ID is a number Discord assigns to your account, and you can find it in three places on mobile without leaving the app

Your Discord ID is a long string of numbers that Discord uses to identify your account uniquely. You might need it to report a problem to Discord support, to set up a bot, or to let someone add you to a server using your ID instead of your username. On mobile, the fastest way is through your user settings — it takes about 20 seconds.

The three places you can find it are your profile card, your account settings, and your direct message list. All three show the same number. Pick whichever one is closest to where you already are in the app.

Key Takeaways

  • Open Discord on your phone, tap your profile picture at the bottom right, then tap your username to open your profile card and see your ID at the top.
  • You can also find your ID in Settings by tapping the gear icon, scrolling to Account, and tapping your username — the ID appears below it.
  • Your Discord ID is a number only, not your username or tag, and it never changes once your account is created.
  • If you cannot see the ID in your profile card, make sure you are tapping your own profile and not someone else's.

Finding your ID through your profile card

This is the quickest route on mobile. Open Discord and look at the bottom of the screen. Tap your profile picture — it is in the bottom right corner next to the compass icon. A menu will pop up with your username and a few options.

Tap your username at the top of that menu. Your profile card will open. At the very top, below your profile picture and username, you will see a row of numbers. That is your Discord ID. Tap and hold on it to copy it to your clipboard.

Finding your ID in account settings

If the profile card method does not work for you, or if you are already in settings, you can find your ID there instead. Tap the gear icon at the bottom right of the screen (next to your profile picture). This opens your settings menu.

Scroll down until you see the word "Account" in gray text. Tap it. Your username will appear at the top of the Account page, and directly below it is your Discord ID in smaller text. You can tap and hold to copy it.

Finding your ID in your direct message list

This method works if you have already opened a direct message with someone. Open any DM conversation, then tap the person's username at the top of the chat. Their profile card will open. Scroll down slightly and you will see their ID.

This shows you their ID, not yours — but the process is the same if you want to find someone else's ID to share with a bot or service. To find your own ID this way, you would need someone else to open your profile from a DM with you.

What your Discord ID looks like and why it matters

Your Discord ID is always a long string of numbers only — something like 123456789012345678. It has no letters, no special characters, and no hyphens. It is different from your username (the name you chose when you signed up) and different from your tag (the four-digit number that used to appear after your name).

Discord uses your ID internally to track your account, your messages, and your servers. Once your account is created, your ID never changes, even if you change your username. That is why some services ask for your ID instead of your username — it is the permanent way to identify you.

Copying and sharing your ID safely

Once you have found your ID, you can tap and hold on the number to copy it. Paste it into a message, email, or form wherever you need it. Your Discord ID by itself is not sensitive information — it is visible to anyone who opens your profile, and sharing it does not give someone access to your account.

However, never share your ID along with your password, your email address, or a login link. If someone asks for your ID and also asks you to click a link or log in somewhere, that is a scam. Discord support will never ask you to log in through a link they send you.

Troubleshooting if you cannot see your ID

If you open your profile card and do not see a number below your username, make sure you are looking at your own profile, not someone else's. The easiest way to check: if the profile has a "Message" button or "Add Friend" button, it is someone else's profile. Your own profile will not have those buttons.

If you are definitely on your own profile and still do not see the ID, try closing the Discord app completely and opening it again. On most phones, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to close apps, or tap the app switcher and swipe Discord away. Then open Discord fresh and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Discord ID the same as my username?

No. Your username is the name you chose when you signed up — like "SarahK" or "TechGamer22". Your ID is a long number that Discord assigned to your account. You can change your username anytime, but your ID stays the same forever.

Can someone hack my account if they know my Discord ID?

No. Your ID is public information — anyone can see it by opening your profile. It does not give someone access to your account. Your password is what protects your account, so never share that with anyone, even if they ask for it along with your ID.

Why would I need to give my Discord ID to someone?

Some bots and services ask for your ID instead of your username because the ID never changes. If you change your username, a bot that uses your ID will still recognize you. Some Discord support tickets also ask for your ID to look up your account faster.

What if I see multiple numbers on my profile?

You might see your ID, a server ID, or a message ID depending on what you are looking at. Your personal Discord ID is the one that appears directly below your username on your profile card or in your Account settings. It is usually the longest number you see.
