Find Any Untappd Username with WhatsMyName App
Untappd is a check-in app for beer, and a check-in is a place and a time. A public profile is therefore a record of where somebody has been, when, and how often, which is a considerably more revealing thing than most of its users have thought about. WhatsMyName App checks an Untappd handle alongside 731 other platforms in one search.

Search Untappd Username FreeWhat Is Untappd and Why Username Searches Matter
Untappd was founded by Greg Avola and Tim Mather and is now owned by Next Glass. Users check in each beer they drink, rate it, earn badges and see what friends are drinking. Venue data comes from Foursquare, so check-ins attach to real, named places rather than free text.
That combination is what makes the privacy question sharper than it first appears. An individual check-in is trivial. A year of them is a pattern: the bar near someone's home, the pub near their office, the times of day they go, the nights they are reliably out. Nobody sets out to publish that, but it is what the accumulated feed amounts to.
Profiles at untappd.com/user/handle are public unless the account is set otherwise. Untappd does provide the control: making an account private removes check-ins and photos from public pages and takes the account out of the public top drinker listings. One detail worth knowing is that switching back to public does not automatically restore the old check-ins and photos to public pages.
How Untappd Usernames Work
The handle forms the profile URL at untappd.com/user/handle. Display names and handles are separate, and the handle is the one that resolves, which is the usual source of a failed search here.
The location model is the part to understand. Untappd uses Foursquare for venues, so a check-in is tied to a specific named establishment rather than a rough area, and it carries a timestamp. Untappd's own position is that it tracks location while the app is in use rather than continuously, which is a meaningful limit, but it does not change what a public check-in feed shows after the fact.
Handle reuse is high with the other things people log. The same string frequently appears on Strava, Letterboxd and Last.fm, because the sort of person who logs one thing tends to log several. That cluster is worth noticing precisely because each of those is a different slice of routine, and together they compose more than any one of them does alone.
- Profile URL format: untappd.com/user/handle
- Check-ins carry a venue name and a timestamp
- Venue data comes from Foursquare, so places are specific
- Private mode removes check-ins and photos from public pages
- Going public again does not automatically restore old check-ins

No account, no install, no cost. Results in under 90 seconds.
Go to WhatsMyName App
Open whatsmynameapp.us in any browser. No account and nothing to install.
Enter the handle
Take the username from the profile URL after /user/ rather than the display name shown on the page.
Run the search
Click Search. All 732 platforms are checked in parallel, including Untappd.
Find the Untappd result
Results stream in as each check completes. Look for the Untappd entry showing confirmed or not found.
See what the profile publishes
Open a confirmed result and look at whether check-ins, venues and photos are visible to a signed-out visitor.
Check the other logging apps
Look at the Strava, Letterboxd and Last.fm results in the same scan. People who log one thing usually log several.
Adjust your own settings if needed
If it is your account, the privacy setting removes check-ins and photos from public pages. Note that reverting to public will not automatically bring the old ones back.
What WhatsMyName App Shows for Untappd
A confirmed result links to the public profile. What is visible varies with the account's privacy setting: a public one shows check-in history with venues and timestamps, badges and photos, while a private one shows very little even though the account plainly exists.
A not-found result usually means the display name was searched rather than the handle, since the two differ on most accounts. It does not distinguish a deleted account from one that never existed.

If you are auditing your own footprint, this is one of the higher value checks in a scan, because the information is specific rather than general. A public feed answers questions like which neighbourhood someone lives in and which evenings they are predictably away from home, and it answers them with named venues and times rather than inference.
If you are checking an account belonging to someone else you have reason to worry about, look at whether the feed reveals a routine. The concern is not any single check-in, it is regularity: the same venue every Thursday is a considerably more useful fact to a stranger than a hundred one-off visits.
The practical fix is the privacy setting, and it is worth knowing its limit before you rely on it. Switching to private removes existing check-ins and photos from public pages, but switching back to public later does not automatically restore them, so the change is not cleanly reversible in either direction.
- Regularity, not any single check-in, is what exposes a routine
- Named venues plus timestamps is specific, not vague, information
- Private mode works, and is not cleanly reversible
- Check the other logging apps in the same scan, they compose

Frequently Asked Questions about Untappd Username Search
Are Untappd profiles public?
By default, yes. A public profile shows check-in history with venue names and timestamps, badges and photos to anyone, including signed-out visitors.
What does an Untappd check-in actually reveal?
A specific named venue and a time. Individually that is trivial. Accumulated over months it describes a routine: which places someone frequents, when, and how regularly.
How do I make my Untappd account private?
Untappd provides a privacy setting that removes check-ins and photos from public pages and takes the account out of public top drinker listings. Note that setting it back to public does not automatically restore the old check-ins.
Does Untappd track my location continuously?
Untappd's position is that it tracks location while the app is in use rather than continuously, and venue data comes from Foursquare. That limits collection but does not change what an already public check-in feed shows.
Why did my Untappd search return not found?
Usually because the display name was searched instead of the handle, and the two are different on most accounts. The handle is the part of the URL after /user/.
Is checking an Untappd profile legal?
Why check Untappd alongside Strava and Letterboxd?
Because people who log one thing usually log several under the same handle, and each is a different slice of routine. Together they compose a fuller picture than any one of them alone.
