Trying to find your Twitter URL but can't seem to locate it anywhere? Don't worry, it's easier to find than you think. This guide gives you the exact, step-by-step instructions for finding your Twitter profile URL whether you're using a desktop browser, an iPhone, or an Android device.

What Exactly Is a Twitter (or X) URL and Why Do You Need It?

Your Twitter URL is the direct link to your profile page. It acts like a unique web address that you can share with anyone to lead them straight to your account. Having this link on hand is incredibly useful for brand building and networking in today's digital world.

The standard format for a Twitter URL is straightforward:

https://twitter.com/YourUsername

Following Elon Musk's acquisition and rebranding, you may also see the URL using the new domain:

https://x.com/YourUsername

Both versions work and will direct visitors to the same profile. The most important part of this URL is the piece that comes after the final slash: your username, also known as your handle. For example, if your username is @AwesomeBrand, your URL would be https://twitter.com/AwesomeBrand.

Here are just a few common reasons you might need your Twitter URL:

  • For your website or blog: Add a Twitter icon that links directly to your profile in your site's header, footer, or 'About' page.
  • In your email signature: Let every person you email see that you have a social presence they can connect with.
  • On your business cards: Include it alongside your other contact information for a modern touch.
  • For cross-platform promotion: Add it to your Instagram bio, LinkedIn profile, or YouTube channel description to build your community across different platforms.
  • In your resumes or portfolios: If your Twitter presence is professional and relevant to your field, it can be a valuable addition.

Knowing how to quickly find and share this URL is a simple but fundamental part of managing your online brand. Let's get into how to grab it on every device.

How to Find Your Twitter URL on a Desktop Browser

Finding your Twitter URL on a desktop or laptop computer is by far the simplest method. The browser's address bar tells you exactly where you are on the internet, which includes your personal profile page.

Follow these quick steps:

Step 1: Log Into Your X Account

Open your preferred web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and navigate to twitter.com or x.com. If you aren't already logged in, enter your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Profile

Once you're on your main feed, look at the navigation menu on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on the Profile option. It's usually accompanied by an icon of a person.

Step 3: Copy the URL from the Address Bar

With your profile page now loaded, simply look up at the address bar at the very top of your browser window. The text displayed there is your direct URL. It will look like https://twitter.com/yourusername.

Click on the URL to highlight it, then right-click and select "Copy" or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+C on Windows, Cmd+C on Mac). That's it! Your profile URL is now copied to your clipboard and ready to be pasted wherever you need it.

How to Find Your Twitter URL on the Mobile App (iOS and Android)

When you're using the mobile X app, there isn't an address bar at the top of the screen showing your URL. Instead, you need to use the app's built-in sharing features to get your link. The process is almost identical for both iPhone and Android devices.

Step-by-Step Guide for iOS and Android

Here’s the cleanest way to get your link on mobile without any risk of typos.

Step 1: Open the X App and Access the Menu

Tap the X app icon on your phone to open it. Once on your home feed, tap on your profile picture located in the top-left corner of the screen. This will slide open the main navigation menu.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile

From the navigation menu that appears, tap on Profile. This will take you to your personal profile page, showing your bio, follower counts, and feed.

Step 3: Locate and Tap the Share Icon

Now that you're on your profile screen, look for the Share icon. Its location is typically in the top-right corner of the screen.

  • On iPhone (iOS), this icon often looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwards.
  • On Android, it’s usually represented by three dots connected by lines.

Sometimes, this icon might be hidden behind a three-dot menu (⋮), also in the top-right. If you see that, tap it, and you'll find the "Share" option within.

Step 4: Copy Your Profile Link

Tapping the Share icon will bring up your phone's native share sheet. This is a menu with various options for sharing content. Look for an option that says Copy link or simply Copy. Tap it.

Your full Twitter profile URL has now been copied to your phone's clipboard. You can now paste it into a message, another app's bio, an email, or anywhere else you need it.

Customizing Your Twitter URL: How to Change Your Username

What if you don't like your current Twitter URL? Since your profile link is determined by your username, the only way to change your username. This is a simple process, but there are a few important things to keep in mind first.

Heads Up: When you change your username, your old one becomes available for anyone else to claim. More importantly, your old URL (e.g., https://twitter.com/OldUsername) will stop working. Any links you've placed on websites, business cards, or other profiles will lead to a "page doesn't exist" error. Be prepared to update these links as soon as you change your username.

Changing Your Username on Desktop

  1. From your homepage, click on More (represented by three dots in a circle) in the left-hand navigation menu.
  2. Select Settings and privacy from the pop-up menu.
  3. Click on Your account, and then select Account information.
  4. You may be prompted to re-enter your password for security.
  5. Click on Username. Here, you can type in your new desired username. Twitter will let you know if it's available.
  6. Once you've chosen a valid, available username, click the Save button. Your URL is now updated.

Changing Your Username on Mobile (iOS and Android)

  1. Tap your profile picture in the top-left to open the menu.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Settings &, Support, then select Settings and privacy.
  3. Tap on Your account, followed by Account information.
  4. Tap on Username.
  5. Type your new username and make any edits. The app will confirm its availability live.
  6. Tap Done to save your new username and update your URL.
