Where to Find Your Dragon City Username
Your Dragon City username appears in the top-left corner of your game screen, just above your player level. It is the name you chose when you first created your account, and it is what other players see when you visit their islands or they visit yours. If you cannot see it on the main screen, the fastest way to confirm your username is to open your player profile.
To open your profile, tap the circular icon with your avatar (your character's picture) in the top-left corner of the game. A menu will appear showing your username at the top, along with your level, the number of dragons you own, and other account details. This is the same username you use to add friends and that appears on leaderboards.
Key Takeaways
- Your username displays in the top-left corner of the main game screen, above your level number.
- Tapping your avatar icon opens your full player profile, where your username appears at the very top.
- The username shown in Dragon City is the one tied to your game account and visible to other players.
- If you created your account through Facebook or another platform, your Dragon City username may differ from your account name on that platform.
Checking Your Username on Different Devices
The location of your username is the same whether you play Dragon City on a phone, tablet, or computer. On mobile devices (iPhone or Android), look for your avatar in the top-left corner and tap it. On a computer or web browser, the same avatar icon appears in the same location — tap or click it to open your profile.
If you are playing through Facebook, your Dragon City username is separate from your Facebook name. Some players assume they are the same and get confused when they see a different name in the game. Your Dragon City username is what matters inside the game itself.
What to Do If Your Username Does Not Appear
If you cannot see your username anywhere on the screen, the game may not have fully loaded. Close the app completely and reopen it. Wait for the main game screen to load fully before looking for your username in the top-left corner.
If the username still does not show after restarting, try logging out and logging back in. On mobile, go to the settings menu (usually a gear icon), scroll down, and look for a "Log Out" or "Sign Out" option. On a computer, look for account settings in the menu. After logging back in, your username should display normally.
Understanding Your Username Versus Your Display Name
Dragon City uses your username as your permanent account identifier. This is the name that appears when other players search for you, add you as a friend, or visit your island. You cannot change this name after you create your account, so it is important to remember it if you ever need to recover your account or contact support.
Some games allow you to set a separate display name that is different from your username. Dragon City does not — your username and your display name are the same thing. Whatever name you see in the top-left corner is the name other players will see.
Finding Your Username If You Forgot It
If you have not played Dragon City in a long time and cannot remember your username, the only way to find it is to log back into your account. Open the game, log in with the email or platform (Facebook, Google, etc.) you used to create the account, and your username will appear on the main screen once you are logged in.
If you cannot remember which email or platform you used, check your email inbox for messages from Dragon City or Socialpoint (the company that makes the game). Look for password reset emails, welcome emails, or account notifications — these will confirm which login method is connected to your account. Once you know the right login method, you can get back into the game and see your username.
Why You Might Need Your Username
You will need your Dragon City username if you want to add friends, join a co-op team, or contact support about your account. When you share your username with someone, they can search for you in the game and send you a friend request. Your username also appears on leaderboards if you rank high enough in events or competitions.
If you ever lose access to your account or need to recover it, support staff will ask you for your username as part of the verification process. Keeping a record of your username somewhere safe (like a note on your phone or in an email to yourself) makes recovery much faster if something goes wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Dragon City username?
No, Dragon City does not allow you to change your username after you create your account. Your username is permanent. If you strongly dislike your current username, the only option is to create a new account with a different name, but you will lose all progress on your old account.
Is my Dragon City username the same as my Facebook name?
Not necessarily. If you linked your Dragon City account to Facebook, your Dragon City username is separate from your Facebook name. You chose your Dragon City username when you first set up the game. Inside Dragon City, only your Dragon City username matters.
What if someone else is using my username?
Usernames in Dragon City are unique — no two players can have the exact same username. If you see a player with a name very similar to yours, it is a different person with a slightly different spelling or number. If you believe someone is impersonating you, contact Dragon City support through the in-game help menu.
Do I need my username to log back into the game?
No. You log in using the email address or platform (Facebook, Google, Apple ID) you used to create your account, not your username. Your username is for other players to find you, not for logging in yourself.
