What is Facebook ID?

Facebook ID or account ID is a set of unique numbers connecting you to your profile. When you first create your FB profile, its algorithms automatically assign you a set of unique numbers, and your profile is then recognized by this number.

Every internet user can use that set of unique numbers or your Facebook ID to check their profile and go through public information. If they have that ID, they don’t need to be your friend and follower in order to know about you. 

Instead, they just need the Facebook ID to get all the public information within seconds. Moreover, when you allow third-party applications access to your Facebook account, they only get your account ID. After that, they can easily see all the public information, including your profile, username, friends list, etc. Using that ID; they personalize your experience.

Apart from that, when you have troubles regarding the application’s connectivity with your account, the developers recognize you with the identity number and resolve the issues you are facing.
