But first, let\u2019s talk about the most accurate way to find a specific person on Spotify: using their username. If you\u2019ve asked them directly or checked their socials, you could see their username. The Spotify username is a unique, random-looking string of numbers and letters. You can find this when they share a playlist with you; it would appear in the playlist link, or they can tell you what it is. Once you have their specific username, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Go to the Spotify search bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Type in their exact username there, using the code spotify:user:(for example, spotify:user:22a36b7c8d9e).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Searching by username should take you directly to their profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to find someone on Spotify without a username<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you don\u2019t have their username, other methods work as well. Here are the different ways you can search for someone on Spotify when you don\u2019t have their username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Search by real name or display name<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you know their real name, you can also run a Spotify user search using it. But remember that not everyone uses their real name on their music apps, especially when they are not celebrities. That said, you might hit a jackpot with it if you give it a trial. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- In the Spotify search bar, type their name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After the initial results, pick the \u201cProfiles\u201d filter to screen out posts and other things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go through the user profiles with that name. You might find the right person.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nConnect to Facebook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This method depends on whether you sign up to Spotify with your Facebook account. Connecting Facebook to Spotify lets you cross-reference your Facebook friends list with those who have also connected their Spotify accounts to Facebook. It\u2019s a fantastic way of finding more friends. If you did not sign up with Facebook directly, here\u2019s how to connect it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Go to \u201cSettings\u201d in Spotify.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go down to \u201cSocial\u201d and connect your Facebook account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Once connected, you\u2019ll see a \u201cFriends\u2019 section appear in your profile sidebar. There, you can see the listening activity of your connected friends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Alternatively, you could connect by editing your login methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to your Spotify account via the web.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Navigate to \u201cyour profile avatar.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.trackercellphone.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/profile-avatar-1024x507.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Scroll down to the \u201cSettings and Privacy\u201d section.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.trackercellphone.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/settings-and-privacy-on-spotify.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Then\u00a0 click on \u201cedit login methods\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019ll see your current login method and available login methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.trackercellphone.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-17.jpeg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- \n
- If the Facebook login is available to you, it will show there. Once you change to Facebook, it should bring more of your friends’ listening activities to Spotify.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
That said, you should note that this method has been phased out. Currently, only a few users can still connect their Facebook accounts to Spotify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Search by email address.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can\u2019t search for users on Spotify by entering their email address in the search bar. Spotify does not allow it due to privacy concerns. However, you could still use the display name process by searching for the first part of their username or name on Spotify. Then, like before, filter by \u201cProfiles\u2019 to uncover associated accounts that could bring you one step closer to your friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the invite link<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the best ways to find someone on Spotify is to avoid the search entirely. Here, the person you want to connect with would generate a unique shareable link, usually of a playlist. Then they can share this with you via email, a link, or other methods. When you click on the link, you can follow them and see their listening activities. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Ask your friend to go to their Spotify profile page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.trackercellphone.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/spotify-profile-page-474x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Then, they will click the share icon and select \u201ccopy link,\u201d or use other methods to share.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.trackercellphone.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20-474x1024.jpeg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- \n
- When you click on the link they send, it launches Spotify and takes you directly to their profile, where you can hit the \u201cFollow\u2019 button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
With reverse phone search<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you have their phone number, you could reverse-engineer to find their connected profiles<\/a> and other information about them. Note that you may not be able to see their Spotify account directly. But reverse phone lookup tools like LocatePhone can piece together additional information to help you identify who they are and what their interests are. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- When you click on the link they send, it launches Spotify and takes you directly to their profile, where you can hit the \u201cFollow\u2019 button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Then, they will click the share icon and select \u201ccopy link,\u201d or use other methods to share.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Ask your friend to go to their Spotify profile page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- If the Facebook login is available to you, it will show there. Once you change to Facebook, it should bring more of your friends’ listening activities to Spotify.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Scroll down to the \u201cSettings and Privacy\u201d section.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Searching by username should take you directly to their profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
