If you have a Facebook account, you might have come across your profile URL. You can share the profile link with your friends and family directly to reach your profile instead of searching for you on Facebook. Like LinkedIn, Facebook has offered the option to users to customize/change the link of their Facebook profile. Moreover, if you are a social media influencer, you can change the Facebook profile URL to look impressive among users.
Unfortunately, you can only view the profile link on your mobile devices, but you can’t change it. On the contrary, you can log in to your Facebook account on your desktop to make the changes.
