Profile

FRVR.profile exposes the current player’s channel‑assigned identity — a stable ID, and (on channels that still expose it) a display name and photo. It’s always available, even before auth has completed, because it comes from the channel itself.

const id = FRVR.profile.id();
// 'fbig_123456789' on Facebook Instant, 'gp_ABCDEF' on Google Play, etc.

const name  = FRVR.profile.name?.();    // may be undefined — see below
const photo = FRVR.profile.photo?.();   // may be undefined — see below

Use FRVR.profile.id() to key any local data that should follow the player on this device. For cross‑device identity, use FRVR.auth.getFRVRID() instead.

Facebook Instant: name & photo are no longer available

Important change on Facebook Instant

Since Meta’s move to Network‑Enabled Zero‑Permissions Games, Facebook Instant no longer returns the player’s display name or photo to the game. FRVR.profile.name() and FRVR.profile.photo() will be undefined there.

To render the current player’s info on Facebook Instant, draw your UI through Shield overlays instead — Meta supplies name/photo to Shield-rendered UI under the new permission model. Shield is the supported way to display a player identity panel on that channel.

On other channels (Google Play, iOS, web channels) name and photo continue to behave as before — where available. Always ?.()‑guard both reads.
