How to find out the page id on VK and see the user’s digital id

How to find out the ID of any VKontakte user

The easiest way to find out a friend's id is to open the desired account in the browser and look at the address bar, more precisely, at the numbers that come after https://vk.com/id...

However, it happens that the ID turns out to be hidden because the person managed to change the address of his page in the settings to a short one that is convenient for him - for example, “meowmeow1” instead of the usual numbers.

What to do in this case?

Option one: LinkApp app

You can find it at the link vk.com/linkapp . By entering the link to the user you need, for example, vk.com/meowmeow1, click “Find out” and get his ID.

Option two: avatar

Click on the profile avatar of the person you want and again pay attention to the address bar. The numbers that are between the word “photo” and the symbol “_” are the number you are looking for.

Option three: wall

If you can look at posts on the user’s wall and they are there, click on the date of any post and between the word “wall” and “_” there will be the user ID you need.

Option four: messages

If you click “send message” to the person you need, then when you open a dialogue with the user, the view will be like this: https://vk.com/im?sel=295772019 or, for example, like this:

The last digits are the “id”.

How to find out a friend's ID? How to find out someone else's ID?

Go to this person's page and you will see his ID in the address that the browser shows. If the address is not visible on your phone, you can click on the address bar at the top, select the entire address and paste it somewhere (for example, into a new note). We have already figured out that an ID is part of the address of a person’s page on VK. For example, if the address of someone else's page is like this:

https://vk.com/id126494354

...then here id126494354 is someone else’s ID. By the way, we know how to find a person by VKontakte ID.

To find out a person’s ID in the VK mobile application, you can go to his page and through the additional menu (usually looks like an ellipsis) select “Share”, and then open it in the browser or copy and then paste it somewhere and look.

How to find out your ID in VK

Situation 1 (the simplest). It happens that a new acquaintance asks for your page number for ease of searching and identifying you on a social network. And you stand there like a fool, not a very smart person, and think: “What kind of animal is this and where can I get it anyway? Maybe I was shortchanged during the distribution.” But in fact, there is nothing easier than solving the question of how to find out your ID in VK.

Via the address bar

The most logical way to find your ID address in VK is to organize a search through the address bar. For this:

And go to the “My Page” tab, after which in the address bar you will see the claim data after the treasured “ID”.

Through settings

Another simple solution on how to find out your ID (ID) in VK via phone is the VKontakte mobile application or mobile browser. Although this method is equally suitable for a computer, it must be taken into account that in this way you can only obtain information about the account through which you are logged into the social network. So you won’t be able to extract data for someone else’s profile if you don’t have access to it.

So, you and I are solving the question of how to view your ID in VK. To do this you will need:

On the top panel on the right, click on your name.
Select “Settings” from the drop-down list.

Find "Page Address". If a word (a short name created by the user) is displayed after the domain name, then you should click “Change”.

After this, the inscription “Number” will appear under the column, and next to it a combination of numbers.

If you do not need to change the short name, then after copying the necessary information, click “Cancel”.

However, there are other ways to find out the page ID in VK, if instead of numbers there are letters (nickname) - they are suitable for both your account and a third-party account. Therefore, let's not stop there and move on to further study of the issue.

By the way. We are sitting here with you and discussing how to find information about your personal profile number. Do you know that knowing this combination of letters and numbers, you can find out the date of registration of the page?

How to find out the link to a VK page?

A link to a VK page consists of two parts:

https://vk.com/ + ID

For example, if a person’s ID is id126494354 , then the link to his page will be like this:

https://vk.com/id126494354

https:// part , indicating the access protocol, does not have to be typed. The browser will understand this too. That is, to open a page with this ID, you can simply type in the address bar of your browser:

vk.com/id126494354

Hint: when you visit your VK page (or any person’s page) through a browser, there will be a link to the page at the top of the address bar, you can just look at it and find out.

If your friend does not know the link to his page and asks you to find it in order to restore access, find him in friends or messages, and from there you can open his page - then you will find out the link.

How to find out VK user ID

Situation 2. Let's say you need to find out not your VK ID, but your new acquaintance or old friend whom you met after a long separation, what to do in such a situation? There is nothing complicated here either, the main thing is to know where you can spy on the treasured numbers.

#1 In the address bar

When faced with the question of how to find out the page ID (account number) of another person on VK, the first step is to check the address bar. To do this, find the desired user on the social network and go to the page of the user you need. Ideally, the address will look the same as in the previous paragraph (in the form of a combination of letters and numbers).

But the problem is that often the faceless numbers in the address bar are replaced with a short name, so this method does not always work. So how can you find out the digital ID in VK, if you can’t get the word there in a similar way, and you’ll have to look for workarounds. Therefore, if you decide to change your ID address, also take into account the fact that it will be more difficult to detect you.

#2 Using an avatar

Even if the user has changed the account address, changing the numbers to a nickname, the avatar address still remains tied to the identification number; this feature can be used. To do this you will need:

Open the desired account and click on the avatar so that the image expands to full screen.
Check the address bar: after the text “photo” there is a series of numbers before the underscore - they will be the desired combination.

In this way, you can use other data from the user page:

any pictures from albums (you need to look for the digital combination after the text “album” before the underscore);
videos (after the text “videos” before the question mark);

posts on the wall (after “wall” before the underscore);
audio recordings (after “audios”);

Another way to see another person’s VK ID is to click the “Write a message” button or open an existing dialogue. It is not necessary to send a text, just check the address bar: after the text “sel=” there is the necessary information.

Some accounts are completely closed to unauthorized users, so before you can determine the user ID in VK, you will have to log in or register.

#3 Opening the page code

You can also find out the digital identifier by looking at the page code; for this you will need:

Open the user account whose number you want to find out.
Right-click anywhere on the page and find “View Code.”
The digital identifier will appear many times; the search function will help speed up the search process. You need to press Ctrl+F and enter, for example, page_avatar in the search window - the necessary numbers will be next to the text.

This is not the easiest option for finding out a person’s ID in VK: since the point where the necessary information is located has to be searched manually. Additional complexity arises if the search is carried out using a third-party account: the code contains both the account number under which you are logged in and the number of the account that is currently open in the browser.

#4 By phone number

There is currently no separate way to find out the VK user ID of someone else’s page by phone number. But you can try to find a user on a social network by mobile number, and then use one of the proposed methods: through the address bar, the address of an avatar (post, photo, video) or using the page code.

By the way! But there is a way to solve the inverse problem and find out the phone number of the account owner!

How to find out the ID of photos, videos, posts on the VK wall

In order to find out their number, you need to open the video/photo/post by simply clicking on it and look at the address in the browser.

For example, for the photo https://vk.com/photo279984181_ 352425030 after the word “photo” there is the ID of the user who posted this very content on the social network, but the numbers that come after the “ _ ” symbol (352425030) are unique number.

In the case when there is a hyphen after the word “photo”, as here https://new.vk.com/do_iposle?z=photo-57950162_ 400116475 %2Fwall-57950162_39678, this means that the picture belongs to and was posted by a certain VK community with ID 57950162, and unique photo number - 400116475.

The same scheme applies to all videos and VK posts.
