What is a TikTok Username?​

A TikTok username is the unique identifier for a TikTok account. While it appears without an "@" symbol on the profile page, it's used with "@" in TikTok URLs (like tiktok.com/@username).

Steps to Get a TikTok Username​

  1. Visit the TikTok Profile

    • Go to the TikTok profile you want to track
    • Look at the profile's main page where their content is displayed

  2. Locate the Username

    • The username appears at the top of the profile
    • It's located to the left of the verification checkmark (if the account is verified)
    • The display name appears to the right of the checkmark
    • The username is shown without an "@" symbol

Here's an example of where to find the username on a TikTok profile:

TikTok Profile Example

In this example, the username is "cincinnatizoo". Notice how it appears to the left of the checkmark, while the display name "Cincinnati Zoo" is shown to the right of it.

Important Notes​

  • Every TikTok account has a unique username
  • The username is case-sensitive
  • Usernames don't contain spaces or special characters
  • Don't confuse the display name (which can contain spaces and special characters) with the username
  • While the username appears without "@" on the profile, you'll see it with "@" in TikTok URLs
  • The username appears to the left of the verification checkmark (if present), with the display name to the right
