How to find out iPhone UDID: 4 effective ways

Why might I need a UDID - a unique 40-character identifier for an iOS device? First of all, to restore your ID profile in the iCloud "cloud". Often, it is required to access beta testing of games and applications. In this article, we will tell you how to find out the iPhone UDID in four ways.

ITUNS Program

The most common method is using iTunes:

1. Launch the iTunes application on your computer.
2. Connect to PC using USB cable or iPhone wireless.
3. Click on the phone icon at the top of the program window.
4. Left-click on the line containing the serial number of the iPhone (11-12 digits).
5. The serial number will change to a string of UDID digits. If you click RMB on them, a pop-up window will appear with the "Copy" command.

Further clicking on this line of LMB, you will also be able to find out the ECID, the model identifier. And by clicking on the phone number - IMEI, ICCID, MEID.

How to find out iPhone UDID, if it is blocked, in this way? If the phone has already connected to iTunes on this PC, then it is not necessary to unlock it before the next connection - the computer and the program will “see” it without these actions.

Using pc

How to find out iPhone UDID without the help of iTunes program? The following method will come in handy:

1. Connect the smartphone via cable to the computer.
2. After the PC recognizes it, go to the "Device Manager".
3. Next up is USB Controllers.
4. You will need to stop at the line Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
5. Right-click on Properties.
6. In the window that opens, select the "Details" tab.
7. Locate the device instance.
8. Count the last 40 characters in the string found - this is the UDID of your gadget.

Unlocking the phone for this method is also not necessary if it has already been connected to the PC.

Utility

Now tell me how to find out the UDID of the iPhone, if iTunes "does not see" the smartphone. Go to the official Apple website and download a utility called iPhone Configuration Utility. There is a version for both Mac and Windows.

Connect the phone to the computer via cable or Wi-fi, run the utility. In the Device tab, you will find a string with a string of characters indicated by the Identifier heading. This is the desired UDID.

Third Party Services

We recommend this option for you the least - turn to third-party services, applications and craftsmen. There is a high probability that they will not be able to correctly identify the identifier and will offer you just a random sequence of numbers and letters. In addition, it is very likely that your personal data will be transferred to third parties and will be used by them for personal gain.

But if you still decide to choose this particular method, here are some tips to help you distinguish a real UDID from a simple character set:

• The identifier consists of 40 characters - Arabic numerals and Latin letters.
• It uses latin letters from a to f.
• The code does not contain capital letters - only lowercase.
• The code does not contain repeatedly repeated characters - "... cccc ...", "... 444 ... 111" and the like cannot be the identifier sought.

So we’ve listed all the ways that tell you how to find out the UDID of iPhone and any other iOS device. As you already noticed, not only the smartphone itself, but also the computer should be at hand. You can, of course, turn to third-party applications, services or workshops, but before that, be aware that you are consciously risking personal data stored on your gadget.
