Where to find your Hay Day username in the game
Your Hay Day username appears in two places inside the game itself. The easiest is to tap the profile icon — usually a circular button in the top-left or top-right corner of your screen, depending on whether you play on iPhone, Android, or a web browser. Once you tap it, your username displays at the top of the profile window that opens.
The second place is in the settings menu. Tap the gear icon (usually in the bottom-right corner), then look for "Account" or "Profile" in the list. Your username will be listed there alongside your level and the farm name you chose.
If you play on multiple devices — say, your phone and a tablet — your username is the same across all of them, because it is tied to your Supercell account, not to the device itself.
Key Takeaways
- Your Hay Day username is visible in your profile, which you reach by tapping the profile icon in the top corner of the game screen.
- The settings menu also displays your username under the Account or Profile section.
- Your username is the same on every device where you play Hay Day, because it belongs to your Supercell account.
- If you cannot find your profile icon, restart the game — the button may not load properly on the first try.
- Your username is different from your farm name; the farm name is what other players see when they visit your farm.
The difference between your username and farm name
Hay Day uses two separate names, and mixing them up is the most common source of confusion. Your username is your account identifier — it is what you use to log in and what appears in your profile. Your farm name is the name you gave your farm when you started the game, and it is what other players see when they visit your farm or trade with you.
You can change your farm name inside the game by going to settings and selecting "Change Farm Name," but your username is permanent and cannot be changed. If you want a different username, you would need to create a new Supercell account and start over.
If you play through Facebook or Google
If you linked your Hay Day account to Facebook or Google Play, your username may be harder to spot in the game itself. Instead, you can find it by checking the account you linked it to. On Facebook, go to your account settings and look for connected apps — Hay Day will be listed there with the username associated with that connection.
On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile icon in the top-right, select "Manage your Google Account," then go to the "Security" tab. Scroll down to "Your devices" and look for Hay Day in the list of connected apps. The name shown there is the username tied to that account.
What to do if you cannot see your profile
If the profile icon does not respond or the profile window will not open, the game may not have loaded fully. Close Hay Day completely and reopen it. Wait for the farm to load all the way — you should see your barn, silo, and animals before you tap anything else.
If the profile still will not open after restarting, try clearing the game's cache. On iPhone, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find Hay Day, tap it, and select "Offload App" (this removes the app but keeps your data). Then reinstall it from the App Store. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Hay Day > Storage > Clear Cache. Your account data stays safe because it is stored on Supercell's servers, not on your device.
Recovering a forgotten username
If you have not played in a long time and cannot remember your username, the fastest way to recover it is to log back into the Supercell account you used. Open Hay Day, tap the profile icon, and if you are logged out, you will see a login screen. Select the account method you originally used — Facebook, Google Play, or email — and log in. Once you are back in the game, your username will be visible in your profile.
If you cannot remember which account method you used, try each one. Supercell will tell you if that account has no Hay Day farm linked to it, so you will know to try the next option. If none of them work, you can contact Supercell support through the game's settings menu. Tap the gear icon, scroll to the bottom, and select "Contact Us." Explain that you cannot remember your username, and they can help you recover your account.
Why you might need your username
Your username is useful when you want to share your farm with friends, report a player, or contact support about your account. Some players also use it when trading or joining a neighborhood — though most in-game interactions use your farm name instead. If someone asks for your "Hay Day name," they are usually asking for your farm name, not your username, so it is worth clarifying which one they need.
Keeping your username somewhere safe — like in a note on your phone or a password manager — can save you time if you ever need to recover your account or switch devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Hay Day username?
No, your username is permanent and tied to your Supercell account. You can change your farm name, which is what other players see, but not your username. If you want a different username, you would need to create a new Supercell account and start a new farm.
Is my username the same as my farm name?
No. Your username is your account identifier and appears in your profile. Your farm name is what you named your farm and what other players see when they visit. You can change your farm name anytime, but your username cannot be changed.
Where do I find my username if I play on a web browser?
The process is the same. Tap the profile icon in the top corner of the screen, and your username will appear at the top of the profile window. If you are playing through a web browser on a computer, the profile icon is usually in the same location as on mobile.
What if I linked my account to Facebook but forgot my username?
Log back into Hay Day using your Facebook account. Once you are in the game, open your profile and your username will be displayed there. If you cannot remember your Facebook password, reset it through Facebook's account recovery page first.
Can someone else see my username?
Other players can see your farm name when they visit your farm or trade with you, but they cannot see your username unless you tell them. Your username is private to your profile and your account settings.
