On any social media app, the username is the most important thing. The username uniquely identifies you and this is how people add you to their circle. While creating an account, Snapchat also asks you to select a unique username. Most people don’t get the desired username because the one they like has already been taken. So, they have to settle for something else. What if you also don’t like the username you have on Snapchat and thinking to change it? In this article, I will talk about this.
Snapchat username is how you will be identified. This is the thing people will use to add you on Snapchat. Check the Snapshot below. This is my username shown in my profile. If you want to add me, you can use this username.
Now the primary question is how to change the Snapchat username.
Snapchat now lets users change their usernames. But there is one condition. After you change your username, you will have to keep it for at least a year. You can only change your username once a year. Your previous username will keep reserved and won’t be given to any existing or new users.
Open the Snapchat app and tap your profile photo in the top left corner. Now tap the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen. On the new screen, Tap Username.
Here click on the Change Username link. It will inform you that your username can only be changed once a year. If you agree, tap Continue. On the next screen, it will ask you to enter a new username. Once you have selected one, click Next.
It will then ask you to confirm your password to finally change your username on Snapchat.
That’s how you can change your username on Snapchat.
Snapchat is an interesting app and Teens use it a lot. People use it to send Snaps, make audio or video calls, send text messages, and more. The app also lets you share your location and even Live-location. I have written a lot of articles on Snapchat that will make Snapchat easy for you. Not many people quickly understand Snapchat in the beginning.
