Platforms

Username

Instagram is checked through a paid service, so each visitor gets 5 paid lookups a day, shared with the Instagram and Facebook ID Finder. Checking the same name again soon does not use another one.

How to Check if a TikTok Username Is Available

Type the username you want into the box above (with or without the @).
Click Check Now. The checker asks TikTok whether an account uses the name.
Available means no account has it right now; Taken comes with a link to the account that has it.

TikTok Username Rules

Between 2 and 24 characters.
Only letters, numbers, underscores (_) and dots (.). No spaces, dashes or emoji.
A username cannot end with a dot.
You can change your username once every 30 days.

The checker applies these rules first, so a name TikTok would refuse is marked Not allowed straight away.

How to Change Your TikTok Username

In the TikTok app, go to Profile, tap Edit profile, then Username. Type the new name and tap Save. Your profile link changes with the username, so update it anywhere you have shared it.

Tips for a Good TikTok Username

Keep it short and easy to say, so people can find you after hearing it once.
Use the same name on YouTube, Instagram and X. Switch those platforms on above to check them at the same time.
If your first choice is taken, add a short word such as "tv", "official" or "hq" rather than a long string of numbers.
