How to find Discord ID on mobile: the direct answer
To find Discord ID on mobile, you must first enable Developer Mode in the app's settings, then tap any username, server, or channel to copy its unique ID. The quickest path is: tap your profile icon, open App Settings, toggle Developer Mode on, then long-press any name to copy its ID from the pop-up menu. Your Discord ID is a permanent, unique number assigned to your account, not your username, and it's essential for bots, server moderation, and account verification.
Enabling developer mode first
Developer Mode is the master switch that reveals hidden "Copy ID" options throughout the Discord mobile app. Without it, you'll only see profile options like "Message" or "Mute," but never the numerical identifiers you need.
- Open the Discord app on your Android or iOS device.
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
- Tap the gear icon labeled "App Settings" or "User Settings" (the exact label depends on your app version).
- Scroll down and tap "Behavior" (on Android) or "Advanced" (on iOS) under App Settings.
- Toggle the "Developer Mode" switch to the On position.
Once enabled, you'll see new "Copy ID" options appear in context menus throughout the app. You only need to do this once, Developer Mode stays on until you manually turn it off.
Finding a user ID
Your Discord ID is typically 17 digits long. Your own User ID is the number bots and server admins ask for when you need account verification or help with a support ticket. To copy it, tap your profile picture in the bottom-right corner to open your profile, then tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of your profile card. Select "Copy User ID" from the pop-up menu, your 17-digit ID is now on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
To find another user's ID, navigate to any message they've sent or find their username in a server's member list. Tap on their username or avatar to open their profile card, then tap the three-dot menu (⋮) or long-press their avatar. Select "Copy User ID" from the options that appear. This works for both direct messages and server members, and it's the same process whether the user is on your friends list or a complete stranger in a public server.
Method 3: Using the Mobile Browser. Log into the Discord website on your mobile browser, tap your avatar to open User Settings, and your Discord ID will be visible on the My Account page without needing Developer Mode.
Finding a server ID
Server IDs are required when you want to invite a bot to a specific server, pull server-specific analytics, or troubleshoot server-wide issues with Discord support. Open the server you need the ID for, then tap the server name at the top of the screen to open the server settings menu. Scroll down and tap "Copy Server ID" from the dropdown, the ID is instantly copied to your clipboard.
Finding a channel ID
Channel IDs are often needed for setting up webhooks, configuring bot permissions for specific channels, or debugging message-routing issues. Navigate to the channel you need, then long-press the channel's name in the channel list. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose "Copy Channel ID." The channel's unique numeric ID is now saved to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Discord ID?
No, Discord IDs are permanently assigned when your account is created and can never be changed or recycled. You can change your username and display name, but the underlying numeric ID remains the same for the lifetime of the account.
Is my Discord ID visible to other users?
Your Discord ID is not shown publicly on your profile or in messages, it's a backend identifier used by the platform. However, server administrators and bots can see your ID for moderation purposes, and anyone can copy it if you post a message in a server where they have permission to view the member list.
Why does my Discord ID look different from my username?
Your username is a display name that can be changed and can repeat across users, while your ID is a unique, unchangeable number that identifies your account specifically. The ID is what Discord uses internally to distinguish between accounts that share the same username.
Can I find my Discord ID without enabling Developer Mode?
No, Developer Mode must be enabled to copy any ID on mobile.
Do I need a separate ID for each server I join?
No, your User ID is the same across every server, it's tied to your account, not to individual servers. However, each server has its own unique Server ID, and each channel within a server has its own Channel ID, which are separate from your User ID.
What should I do if "Copy User ID" doesn't appear in the menu?
If the option is missing, Developer Mode is not properly enabled. Go back to your profile icon, tap App Settings, then Behavior or Advanced, and confirm the Developer Mode toggle is switched on. If it's already on, toggle it off and on again, then restart the Discord app before trying again.
How can I find my Discord ID on a mobile device?
On a mobile device, you can find your Discord ID at the bottom of your profile listed as 'User ID' without enabling Developer Mode. Tap your profile picture, and the ID is displayed directly on your profile card.
What should I do if I can't find my Discord ID on my mobile device?
If you can't find your Discord ID on your mobile device, access it via the web version of Discord. Log in on your mobile browser, go to User Settings, and your ID will be visible on the My Account page.
What if I cannot access my account at all?
Method 4: Asking a Friend for Your Discord ID. If you cannot access your account, ask a friend to go to a server or DM you share, tap your profile, and copy your User ID from the three-dot menu to send to you.
