Sometimes we forget the simple things and remember the hard ones. One such thing you would get tricked for is when I ask you about your Google+ profile ID. In earlier times, Google profiles started out with number IDs for the user’s profile URLs. It was difficult to remember the whole lot of numbers in a series. In the fight with Facebook, Google+ seems to have learned the need for profile URL identification and so introduced the chance of choosing custom URL for their profiles.
If you look at the my profile https://plus.google.com/+SasidharKareti, my custom URL starts with +SasidharKareti after the regular plus.google.com. Also if you look at the amfas tech’s profile https://plus.google.com/+AmfasTechSols, the custom URL starts with +AmfasTechSols after the regular URL paradigm. These custom URLs are used to be https://plus.google.com/112090827158839018029for my profile and https://plus.google.com/111148015985534985467 for amfas tech. The 21 digit series is the profile ID I was talking about earlier. When these profile ID’s are upgraded to textual username like words, the custom URLs with a ‘+’ sign preceding them, it became a little tricky to know the ID number for developer purposes. At last, we found an easy way to find your profile ID number without surfing back to back in your settings. To find your profile ID,
Step 1: Sign into your Google+ account.
Step 2: We’re going to use the updates you have posted on your profile. So, Go to to Profile.
Step 3: Find an update you have posted, right click on your name and Copy Link Address.
Step 4:
Method 1: Paste the link in Notepad and you will be able to find the profile number ID.
Method 2: Click on the arrow on the top right of the post and choose Link to post.
There you can find the profile ID after the regular URL paradigm plus.google.com.
Method 3: Clicking on Embed post can work well. It shows the embed like this from which you can find the profile number ID.
That’s it! Little tricky, but not that hard to find it! Thank you for reading!
