Where to find your Candy Crush username
Your Candy Crush username is visible in the game itself, not in a separate account settings page. Open Candy Crush Saga on your phone or computer, tap or click the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines in the top left or right corner), and look for a profile or account section. Your username appears at the top of that menu, often next to your player level and score.
If you play on Facebook, your Candy Crush username is the same as your Facebook name — the one that appears on your profile. If you play through King.com (the company that makes Candy Crush), your username is what you chose when you created that account, and it shows in the same menu location.
The exact location of this menu varies slightly depending on whether you play on iOS, Android, or a web browser, but the principle is the same: open the game, find the settings or profile area, and your name will be displayed there.
Key Takeaways
- Your Candy Crush username appears in the game's menu or profile section, not in a separate website or app.
- If you linked Candy Crush to Facebook, your username is your Facebook name.
- If you created a King.com account directly, your username is what you entered during signup.
- The menu icon is usually in the top corner of the game screen and labeled with three lines, a gear, or a person icon.
Finding your username on different devices
On a mobile phone (iPhone or Android), open Candy Crush and look for the menu icon in the top left or top right corner of the main screen. Tap it, then look for "Profile," "Account," "Settings," or your player name. Your username will be displayed prominently, usually at the top of that section.
On a computer or tablet playing through a web browser, the menu is typically in the same location — top corner of the game window. Click it and follow the same path to your profile. The layout may look slightly different, but the information is in the same place.
If you play on multiple devices, your username is the same across all of them as long as you are signed into the same account. If you see a different name on a different device, you are likely signed into a different account.
If you linked Candy Crush to Facebook
When you connect Candy Crush to Facebook, the game uses your Facebook name as your Candy Crush username. You cannot change it within the game — it pulls directly from your Facebook profile. If you want a different name to appear in Candy Crush, you would need to change your Facebook name first, and the change will show in Candy Crush within a few hours.
To confirm you are linked to Facebook, open Candy Crush, go to the menu, and look for a Facebook icon or a "Connected Accounts" section. If Facebook is listed there, that is the account controlling your username.
If you created a King.com account
If you signed up for Candy Crush directly through King.com without using Facebook, you chose your own username during signup. This username is permanent and cannot be changed through the game itself. You can view it in the game menu under your profile or account section.
If you want to change a King.com username, you would need to contact King's support team through their website. However, be aware that username changes are not always possible depending on your account history and the company's policies at the time you request it.
What to do if you cannot find your username
If you open the menu and do not see your username displayed, check whether you are actually signed into an account. Some players start the game without signing in, which means they are playing as a guest. Guest accounts do not have usernames — you would need to create an account or link to Facebook first.
To sign in, look for a "Sign In," "Log In," or account icon in the menu. If you see an option to connect to Facebook or create a King.com account, follow that path. Once you are signed in, your username will appear in the profile section.
If you are signed in but still cannot locate your username, try closing the game completely and reopening it. Sometimes the menu does not load fully on the first try. If the problem continues, King's support team can help you recover or confirm your account information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Candy Crush username?
If you linked to Facebook, you cannot change it in the game — you would need to change your Facebook name first. If you created a King.com account, usernames are typically permanent. Contact King's support team to ask whether a change is possible for your specific account.
Is my Candy Crush username the same as my player ID?
No. Your username is the name that displays in the game. Your player ID is a separate number that King uses internally to track your account. Both appear in your profile section, but they serve different purposes.
What if I forgot which account I used to sign up?
Open Candy Crush and check the menu for connected accounts or sign-in information. It will show whether you are linked to Facebook or a King.com account. If you are unsure, contact King's support with your email address or phone number, and they can tell you which account is associated with your game progress.
Can other players see my username?
Yes, if you play multiplayer games or join a team, other players can see your username. Your score and level are also visible to other players in those modes. If you want more privacy, check your game settings to see whether you can adjust who can see your profile.
