You make a Snapchat account, pick a goofy username, gain followers, and all of a sudden you realize you no longer like your username. That brings you here – to try and modify your Snapchat username.
You choose your username when you first sign up for a Snapchat account. A username is a distinctive identifier that Snapchat uses to identify users. Your display name, which is how you appear on the app, is different from your username. Your display name can be changed whenever you desire. But you can change your username only once a year. We’ll go over how to modify or change your Snapchat username in this post.
Steps To Change Snapchat Username on Android, iOS
Users of Snapchat could previously only modify their display names. For those who are unaware, Snapchat now allows us to change our username. This feature is available for both Android and Apple mobile phone users. As we have mentioned earlier, this can be done only once a year. The steps to change your username on Android or iPhone are the same. Here’s what you should do.
Step 1: On your mobile phone, open your Snapchat app.
Step 2: At the top left corner of the screen, click on Bitmoji to go to your profile.
Step 3: Then, click on the settings icon which is placed at the top right corner.
Step 4: Now, go to the Username section and tap on the change username.
Step 5: Give a new name. Then, to change, click on the ‘next’.
It’s also vital to keep in mind that once you change your username, you cannot change it back. In addition to this, you can modify your Snapchat display name as well as other personal information like your birthday, email address, and mobile number from the settings menu.
When creating a new username, there are certain conditions. For example, there may be restrictions on the number of characters allowed, the character types that can be used, etc. You must adhere to these rules in order to choose a random name. The display name, linked email ID, profile settings, and other critical aspects of your account is unaffected by changing the username.
