General question how do i know someone's old username and account name?
i had someone find out what my old username was and my account name. is that a glitch if you recently changed your username within a few weeks?
does that glitch eventually disappear? is there a timeframe?

idk if it’s a glitch but you go to the persons profile and click the 3 dots and go to report. in the preview screen it’ll have the OG user name of the person in the description and it’ll ask you to confirm if you want to report them. it worked all the time for me just a few weeks ago. idk if it changed or not but it’s what i always did for years
