You can contact the account owner to change the username on your Twitter profile, or you can change the display name without breaking any of your tweets. Here&#8217;s how. You need to know your Twitter username, which is four to 15 characters long. It&#8217;s also important to tell your followers of the new name. You can do this from your profile&#8217;s Settings or Privacy. When you choose to change your username, Twitter will prompt you to create a new one and offer some suggestions. Once you&#8217;re done, you can save the new name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_change_your_Twitter_username_as_many_times_as_you_want\"><\/span>You can change your Twitter username as many times as you want<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered whether you can change your Twitter username, the answer is yes! You can change your username as many times as you want! All you need is a working Twitter ID and a device that runs the application. To change your handle, you must first log into your account. To do this, click the &#8220;more&#8221; button on the navigation bar. From there, click &#8220;Account Information.&#8221; Confirm your password and you&#8217;re all set!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about the length of your username, you can always use a nickname. However, be careful not to choose a long username. Your username should be 15 characters or less. It should also be a word or phrase that is easily pronounced. Most people use Twitter&#8217;s mobile app to update their profile information. To change your Twitter handle on your Android or iOS device, simply tap your profile picture and then click Settings. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can easily change your Twitter handle as many times as you want.<\/p>\n<p>Before changing your Twitter username, make sure you tell your followers about the change. The majority of your followers won&#8217;t receive notice that your handle has changed. If you&#8217;d like to avoid this issue in the future, it&#8217;s best to consider a different name for the next few years. By doing so, you&#8217;ll ensure that you&#8217;re not losing any followers. This way, you can update your profile and keep your followers up to date.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_contact_the_account_owner_to_change_your_username\"><\/span>You can contact the account owner to change your username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re sick of your current username, you can request a change by contacting the account owner directly. Using a search engine, you can also look for accounts using the same word or acronym, such as @Slack. You can even try using an acronym, such as @SlackHQ, instead of a full name, and include an underscore. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you can try to represent yourself in different ways, such as adding a dash or underscore to your name.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve received a response, try to tweet using your new username. However, remember to notify your followers about your new name. Once you&#8217;ve changed your username, tweets containing that username will appear under your profile. You can also contact the account owner to change your Twitter username. This way, you can avoid the problem of accidentally tweeting someone else&#8217;s account. This method may not be suitable for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re suspicious about a Twitter account, you can try contacting the account owner. The owner&#8217;s e-mail address is available through the Twitter website. If you can&#8217;t find the account owner, you can also search for them on social networks. You can try to contact the account owner, and they&#8217;ll most likely agree to transfer your username. If they don&#8217;t agree, you can also try to get the account owner&#8217;s permission to use the new one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_change_your_display_name_without_breaking_previous_tweets\"><\/span>You can change your display name without breaking previous tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered if you can change your display name on Twitter without breaking your previous tweets, you&#8217;re not alone. The service makes changing your display name a simple process and allows you to use emojis or special characters as you wish. If you&#8217;re on mobile, changing your display name on Twitter is easy as well. Simply log into Twitter, tap on your profile picture, and then tap on &#8216;edit profile&#8217;. In the &#8216;Name&#8217; section, change your display name and save your changes.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve made the decision to change your display name, you should go to your profile page and edit your bio, profile picture, and other details. Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, you should see a page similar to the one below. Here, you can edit your bio, add links, and edit your display name. Once you save your changes, you&#8217;ll see your new display name and bio.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your display name on Twitter should be done carefully, as changing your name too often will confuse your followers and hinder your account&#8217;s growth. It&#8217;s also a good idea to notify your followers of your new display name so they can stop tagging you with the old one. If you&#8217;re unsure about how to change your display name on Twitter, read the user guide. It will help you change your display name on Twitter without breaking your previous tweets.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XemPCPrzLoA\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"270\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"483\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change a Twitter Username If you want to change your Twitter username, you can do it as often as you wish.
