Reverse Username Search

Search for who’s behind an online profile in seconds

Talk to someone on Snapchat and you hope to find more about this person, including his/her real name, phone number and other personal info? It sounds tricky to obtain so much information with only a Snapchat username, but it’s possible to do so. It’s actually not a hard job, and you can even do it for free.

Snapchat allows users to add their real names to the accounts, which can be easily found out in the user settings. However, if they haven’t made the real name public, you’ll need to take more advanced steps (starting from Method 2) to identify a Snapchat user’s real name.

1. Check out the user settings on Snapchat
2. Manually search for the username
3. Use a Snapchat username lookup tool
4. Do a photo search with Google Image

1. Check out the user settings on Snapchat

It takes a few steps to find out a user’s real name on Snapchat:

1. Open your Snapchat app and tap Chat at the bottom of the screen.
2. Find the account you would like to know and open the chat.
3. Tap its profile icon at the top left, and you should see the complete profile with the real name of that user.

If the user doesn’t set up a real name, you won’t see it and you should move on to other methods to trace a person with their Snapchat footprints.

2. Manually search for the username

Since many people would join various social media platforms with the same or similar username, it makes sense to Google their Snapchat username. You may find them appearing on other websites like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. When you get any clues, you can do more digging.

3. Use a Snapchat username lookup tool
