Every iOS device made by Apple, including the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, has a unique identifier code. These UDID’s (Unique Device ID) is a 40-digit sequence of characters that can be used to do things like blacklist stolen devices. But the most common reason for people to find their UDID is to share it with developers to help beta test iOS apps. Here’s how to find UDID on iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

How To Find UDID On iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

There are several iOS apps and websites that will help you find your UDID, but many of them are spammy, don’t work or are malicious. Be careful about any 3rd party site or app that tries to install operating system level profiles on your iOS device or ask for personal information. This tutorial will show you How To Find UDID numbers using only iTunes. And the best part… this tutorial features a Unicorn! Or should we just call him the UDID-corn? Let’s do this.

Requirements:

  • Mac or PC computer
  • iTunes (free download)
  • Charging cable for your iOS device
  • 2 mins of time
  • A natural curiosity on why there’s a “Unicorn” in this tutorial

01) Connect Your iOS Device to Your Computer

Using the USB cable that came with your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, plug your device into your computer.

02) Open iTunes

On your Mac or PC, open the iTunes application. Not iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. You must use a computer. You can find the iTunes app in your Applications folder (Mac) or under the Start menu (Windows).

In this next few steps, I’m going to show you how to find UDID with iTunes. If you do not have a computer with iTunes, then you can’t proceed.

In the Summary tab for your iOS device, iTunes will display several informational items about your phone including your capacity and phone number. Click on the text that says Serial Number. It should change to say Identifier (UDID).
