Have you misplaced your Apple ID? Fortunately, locating this vital information on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Mac, or PC while logged in is a simple task. If you're not logged into any of these devices with your Apple ID, a bit of detective work is required. However, this Mytour article provides a step-by-step guide to make the process of finding it easy and straightforward!
Procedures
For iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Apple Watch Users
Access Settings. Look for the gray gear icon on your home screen.
Tap on your name. It's the topmost choice in the menu next to your profile image.
- If you're not logged in, you'll receive a prompt to sign in instead. If you don't possess an Apple ID, you'll be guided to create one.
Find your Apple ID details. Once signed in, you'll have access to information such as your Apple ID email address or phone number linked to your Apple ID.
For Mac Users
Access System Preferences. Alternatively, you can click the gear icon in your Dock to open it.
Click on Apple ID. It's depicted as an apple inside a grey square on the right side of the window.
- Clicking this will reveal your Apple ID.
For PC Users
Launch iCloud for Windows. Chances are, you've installed this to synchronize your Apple device (such as an iPhone or iPad) with your computer.
- If iCloud for Windows isn't available, you can opt for iTunes instead.
Retrieve your Apple ID. If you're logged in, your Apple ID will be displayed under your name. You might need to navigate to an Account section to locate your Apple ID.
Alternative Methods to Discover Your Apple ID
Confirm your sign-in status on the App Store, FaceTime, or Messages. When signed in, your Apple ID should be accessible within those applications.
Visit https://icloud.com or https://appleid.apple.com to check if your Apple ID auto-populates. When using a web browser, navigate to these websites to see if you're automatically logged in or if your details are filled in automatically when attempting to log in.
Review your emails from Apple. Emails from Apple may contain your Apple ID, but if the address is obscured (e.g., d***@icloud.com), the number of asterisks may not correspond to the actual characters in the email address.
If You're Still Unable to Locate Your Apple ID
Visit https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid using a web browser.
- Use this if you've forgotten your Apple ID but suspect you might have one (such as if you owned an iPhone years ago before switching to Android).
Complete the form. Input your first and last names, then provide your email address. If you have multiple email addresses, you can try this process multiple times.
- You might need to verify that you're not a robot by entering the letters and numbers shown in the box.
Tap Continue. On the subsequent page, you'll be informed if an Apple ID is linked to your details. If Apple detects an Apple ID associated with your information, click Go to Your Account.
- If you've forgotten your Apple ID, chances are you've also forgotten the password. You can proceed with the instructions on the screen to reset your password.
