import { Socket } from 'ngx-socket-io';
    
constructor(private socket: Socket) {}
    
ngOnInit() {
    this.socket.on('connect', () => console.log(this.socket.ioSocket.id));
}

You can find it in the socket instance: socket.ioSocket.id.
However you will have to wait for the socket to initialize before using it.

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class SocketService {
  socketId;

  constructor(private socket: Socket) {
    socket.on('connect', () => this.socketId = this.socket.ioSocket.id);
  }
}
