You may not be able to change your username more than 30 times a year. You can only change your TikTok username if it consists of letters, numbers, underscores or periods. To change your TikTok username, you must first log into your account and select the settings page. Once you&#8217;ve finished your settings, click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button on the upper right-hand side of the dashboard.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restrictions_on_changing_a_username_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Restrictions on changing a username on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering changing your username on TikTok, you&#8217;ll want to read the rules first. TikTok does not allow users to change their username more than 30 days after it&#8217;s been created. You can&#8217;t use any special characters in your username, so you must stick to letters, numbers, underscores, and periods. You can change your username just once, so it&#8217;s important to double check your spelling before saving your new username.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of different ways to get around this restriction. One way is to change your username in a dedicated video, and then replace the link that links back to your profile. The only limitation is that you can&#8217;t change your username more than 30 days after it&#8217;s been created, and you can only change it once every 30 days. You may want to wait a few days before changing your username to consider the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>One way to change your username on TikTok is to create a new account with a different name. You can only have one username, and you can&#8217;t use the same username as someone else&#8217;s account. This means that you might need to try a few variations of your username before finding one that is accepted. Aside from changing your username, you can also change your username. This way, you&#8217;ll retain your brand across all platforms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_changing_a_username_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Requirements for changing a username on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your TikTok username, the process is simple. To change your username, you should make a dedicated video and replace the link in your profile. You can change your username once every 30 days, so make sure to do this as soon as possible. There are a few requirements that you must meet when changing your username. Read on to learn more about the requirements for changing a TikTok username.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must be approved by a TikTok user. You cannot change your username unless the other person approves it. For this, you can use a nickname, but make sure you&#8217;ve included a real name and a real email address. Otherwise, you may be penalized for using a fake or misleading name. If you don&#8217;t have a real name, you can use a nickname, like @lorengray.<\/p>\n<p>You can change your TikTok username once in 30 days. You can also change your username in your videos if you have posted content on the TikTok website or your YouTube channel. However, you must make sure that your username is unique and you don&#8217;t want to be confused by other people using the same name. You can change your TikTok username once every 30 days, but make sure that you choose a username that hasn&#8217;t been used before.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_times_you_can_change_a_username_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Number of times you can change a username on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you first join TikTok, you&#8217;ll have to choose a username and a profile name. However, you may find that you&#8217;d like to change your username for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you&#8217;ve used your real name at first and now you realize that the name you chose isn&#8217;t as appropriate as you originally thought. Either way, it&#8217;s easy to change your TikTok username through the &#8220;Edit profile&#8221; page.<\/p>\n<p>There are limitations on the number of times you can change a TikTok username. You can only change a TikTok username once every 30 days, so don&#8217;t use periods if you want to use a period. Additionally, you can&#8217;t change your username after a few days or weeks. However, if you decide to change your username, you&#8217;ll need to confirm it within 30 days of signing up. Make sure you change the name after 30 days, so that it better represents who you are.<\/p>\n<p>In general, you should change your TikTok username no more than once every thirty days. In order to avoid losing track of your followers, you should wait at least a month between changes. However, if you&#8217;re trying to change your name for trial purposes, you can only do it once per thirty days. The reason for this is that TikTok doesn&#8217;t want people to get confused by your new display name.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"531\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U4xjyuRMH5s\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Username on TikTok If you want to use a different username on TikTok, there are certain requirements and restrictions.
