There are situations when you come across someone on social media and wonder how to find their email address for further contact. With modern-day tools, it is not hard at all. In this article, we’re showing you 6 ways to find email address from username. Read on…
1. Analyze their bio
Social media are goldmines of opportunities. As such, professionals, internet influencers, and advertisers are more than willing to share their email addresses to expand their outreach. So as an option, you can check out their bios.
Here I take Facebook and YouTube as examples:
Find email address by Facebook username:
- Open Facebook and log into your account.
- Head to the person’s Facebook profile.
- Click/Tap on the About section > Contact and Basic Info. Then in the email section, you may see the Facebook user’s email if he/she has made it public.
Find someone’s email address by YouTube username:
- Go to YouTube and log into your account.
- Head to the YouTuber’s account, then click his/her ABOUT section > VIEW EMAIL ADDRESS.
- Complete the captcha and click Submit.
- The YouTube user’s email address will be visible.
If you’ve managed to trace someone’s email address, then congrats! But if it doesn’t give you luck. Don’t worry – here are 5 more methods to try.

6. Google
Google is a good friend if you are looking for a free solution to finding someone’s email address. But since it’s a powerhouse of information – it’s very likely that it churns out an overabundance of results if you just randomly search.
Here are a couple of tips to make your search more efficient:
- Put the username in quotations. This way, the search engine will deliver you only the results with the exact username.
- Use site:abc.com to search sitewide. For example, if you are trying to find a person named James on Tinder, you can plug in “James site:Tinder.com”, then Google will turn up all users going by James.
- Add a few more criteria to narrow down your focus. For example, if the James you know is aged 32, you can add it to your query so that Google will scope out its database for information matching the criteria.
A Google search may ultimately lead you to the discovery of someone’s email address, but it could take a day. If you don’t want the hassle, you can give the tools above a try – a $1 trial is all you need to get the results.
