There are several ways to make your new name appear on your Facebook profile without the need to change the name of everyone else. Read on to learn how to change your name on Facebook on iPhone. You can also change the name on your profile page by visiting settings and choosing &#8216;Change display name&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to change your name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your name on Facebook on your phone, follow these steps. First, go to the settings menu on your phone. There, tap the General Account Settings. In the Name section, you will see the Edit option. Tap it. This will open up a box with boxes for your first and last names. Choose the name you wish to use, and type in a password if you want to change your name later. Finally, tap Save to save your changes.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change your name on Facebook on your phone, the process is the same as that for changing it on a desktop computer. The only difference is that you need to choose a language other than English when you change your name on the Facebook mobile app. For this reason, you need to make sure that the name you choose is correct before you save it. You can find out which languages are supported by Facebook by reading this guide.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Facebook_without_notifying_everyone\"><\/span>How to change your name on Facebook without notifying everyone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to update your Facebook name on your mobile device, you can do it by following the steps below. Log in to your Facebook account. Click the Settings button in the top right corner of the screen. Select Account Settings. Click on the Name option. Enter your new name and then confirm the change by entering your Facebook password. Your new username will now appear next to your profile picture. Your old name will not be updated in your followers&#8217; news feeds or notification alerts.<\/p>\n<p>After signing in to Facebook, go to your profile and select the business page. From there, select Edit Page Info and change your name. You must follow the Facebook name convention. To change your name in a different language, you must select the appropriate language in the drop-down menu. Afterwards, save the changes. Your new name will be visible on all Facebook pages. You may want to update the name of your profile if it&#8217;s been abused by your friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Facebook_on_any_device\"><\/span>How to change your name on Facebook on any device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you should know is that Facebook doesn&#8217;t allow you to change your name within 60 days. You&#8217;ll also be denied permission if you use any titles or offensive words in your name. Fortunately, there are easy ways to change your name without contacting Facebook support. Follow these steps to change your name on Facebook. You&#8217;ll need to enter a password and click the &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; button to apply the changes.<\/p>\n<p>First, go to your profile and click &#8220;Edit Name.&#8221; In the next window, you&#8217;ll see a text box where you can change your name. If you&#8217;d prefer not to change your name, select a different one. Facebook only allows you to change your name once every 60 days, so be sure to read the guidelines carefully. The best way to protect your account is to use your real name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Facebook_on_iPhone\"><\/span>How to change your name on Facebook on iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your name on Facebook on iPhone, follow these steps. Log into your Facebook account and go to the Personal information section. Then, tap the name field. Enter your new name in one of the three fields, then choose how you want it displayed on your profile. Once you&#8217;ve made the change, you can save the changes. To change your name on iPhone, you can also use the Facebook app. You can also change the order of your name, too.<\/p>\n<p>To change your name on your iPhone, go to the account settings tab and tap &#8220;Edit.&#8221; In the General Account Settings section, look for the name tab. Click this option. Select &#8220;Change Name.&#8221; Click on the name box. You can also add a username in the same box. To save changes, tap &#8220;Save&#8221; to confirm them. You can then choose your new name. Make sure that you save the new name before closing the screen.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zg77vma3wVc\" height=\"299\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My Name on Facebook on My Phone?
