Snapchat to Allow Changing Usernames on Feb. 23

Snapchat revealed, on Thursday, its plan to roll out a feature that will allow you to change your username.

The new feature will allow users to change their usernames easily without creating a new account. They will still have access to old friends lists, Snap scores, Snap codes, and memories. However, you will only get one chance to change your username per year.

The Verge reported that the feature will be available starting February 23, noting that it will be released for both iOS and Android users around the world.

Once you change your username, you will not get the option to go to the old username. Also, users will not be able to enter any username that has been already taken by others.

The company affirmed that this was the much-requested feature, and it is finally offering it to its users.

In addition to Snapchat, other social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter already offer the ability to change usernames.

If you want to change the username on Snapchat, tap on the Bitmoji icon, which is located on the top-left corner of the screen.

Then, head to the profile section > select settings by tapping on the gear icon. Here, you will find an option called “Username,” just tap on it and you will get a “change username” button. You can then enter a new username and tap again on “Next” to apply the change. Your username will then be updated.
