This will be what other users see on your profile. You may also have a nickname which is visible on your profile. Changing your username is only allowed once every 30 days. Remember that your username can only contain letters, underscores, and periods. Also, changing your username will erase your account verification. If you are not sure whether you need to change your username, contact Support to ask for assistance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_or_change_your_Display_Name\"><\/span>Create or change your Display Name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can choose to create or change your display name on TikTok by contacting the social networking site. You can do this once every 30 days. The second blank next to the outline of the person is where your TikTok ID appears. If you are unhappy with your display name, you can change it by contacting TikTok. The process is simple, but you should read the instructions carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing a username can be a daunting task, since there are over 700 million account names currently in use on the site. Try adding numbers or extra letters to your username. Think of names that make sense. You may be able to sidestep to different terms by changing your current username. You can also use a username related to your hobbies, interests, pets, or appearance. Make sure to choose a username that reflects your personal values and is not embarrassing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct_messaging\"><\/span>Direct messaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve decided that you want to change your name on TikTok. But how do you do it? First, you need to make sure that you&#8217;re old enough to receive direct messages. This feature is only available to users who are 16 years old or older. This change is in response to recent reports that underage users are using the platform to spread their videos. In addition to this new restriction, you may also wish to make sure that you&#8217;re aware of how often your kids are online, as well as what they are doing.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure how to do this, don&#8217;t worry. It&#8217;s not difficult to do. Simply head to your profile page, tap on your name, and then tap the direct message icon in the top right corner. This will send the message to your TikTok followers. You can also send a message to your friends or followers through direct messaging. You should be able to see this option if you have turned on your settings for direct messages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Livestreaming\"><\/span>Livestreaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering &#8220;how to change your name on TikTok&#8221;, then you&#8217;re not alone. Over a million people use TikTok to share videos, so the name you use on the platform can have a huge impact on your audience. Changing your username is as easy as changing your Facebook name! To begin, simply go to your profile and tap &#8220;edit&#8221; to change it.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a TikTok account, you&#8217;ll be prompted to choose a username and a profile name. But there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll want to change your name later. Perhaps you&#8217;ve chosen a name that&#8217;s too similar to your real name or one that doesn&#8217;t suit your content. Either way, it&#8217;s easy to change your name and make it more unique.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Age_restriction\"><\/span>Age restriction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your name on TikTok, you must first prove your age. This may be difficult if you don&#8217;t have a government-issued ID, but you can usually use your school ID. TikTok uses this information to update your age and other information on your account. However, you must be at least 18 years old to make any changes to your profile.<\/p>\n<p>Before you can change your name on TikTok, you must first report the problem to the service. There are several options for this, including reporting the problem. For example, if you&#8217;re under 16, you can&#8217;t send messages, download videos, and change your name. You have to report the problem in the TikTok Help Center. After the report, you&#8217;ll be given an option to change your name.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U4xjyuRMH5s\" width=\"368\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Name on TikTok In the first place, you need to know what your username is.
