If you&#8217;ve already made a Twitter account, you can easily change it and you won&#8217;t lose followers or tweets. However, you cannot change it back once you&#8217;ve made the change. If you want to change it before deleting your account, you must first notify your friends. This article will walk you through the process of changing your username. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll have a new Twitter username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Username_is_unique\"><\/span>Username is unique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re sick of being tagged as &#8220;bob&#8221; or something else that sounds silly, you can change your @ name on Twitter. You won&#8217;t lose any of your previous tweets or followers, but you won&#8217;t be able to change back to your old username. Regardless of which one you choose, make sure you notify your followers. In order to avoid confusion, here are a few tips:<\/p>\n<p>First, open your Twitter app. Click on the profile icon at the top left corner. Choose Settings and privacy. Scroll down and tap on Account. Select Edit Profile. Change your username, and then save your changes. This will automatically replace your name with your new one. Don&#8217;t forget to save your changes or else the new name won&#8217;t be displayed. To change your @ name, follow the steps mentioned above. Changing your username is easy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display_name_is_something_that_people_want_to_know_as_your_name_or_your_companys_name\"><\/span>Display name is something that people want to know as your name or your company&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the owner of a Twitter account, you can choose a display-name. The display-name will appear in bold next to your tweets. However, it doesn&#8217;t change the rest of your account. It should reflect the company or brand that you represent, or the purpose of your account. To help make it easier for people to recognize you, here are some tips.<\/p>\n<p>The display-name is the first thing people will see when they visit your Twitter profile. It&#8217;s also the name that people want to know, and if it&#8217;s the same as the one they&#8217;ve seen elsewhere, it might seem suspicious. If that&#8217;s the case, you might want to change the name. Fortunately, there are simple steps that will make the change easy.<\/p>\n<p>The display-name feature will make it easier to tell people who you are and your company&#8217;s identity on the platform. It&#8217;s also more customizable, as people can use it to mention you in tweets and reply to theirs. This feature is especially useful for companies and brands that want to promote themselves. But make sure you&#8217;re careful to choose a display-name that is short and memorable, as long as it&#8217;s not too personal or too business-related.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_should_reflect_what_your_Twitter_account_is_for\"><\/span>It should reflect what your Twitter account is for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re first starting out on Twitter, it&#8217;s important that your handle is relevant to what you&#8217;re trying to accomplish. You can use your brand name, or add a CTA to your company name. For example, if your company name is HubSpot, use the handle @GetHubSpot or @ChooseHubSpot. Other companies, such as Slack, add the word &#8220;HQ&#8221; at the end of their handle.<\/p>\n<p>The color of your handle should match your brand identity. The color of your Twitter handle should reflect your theme colors, which can be found on your website, stationery, and business cards. Make sure your handle is unique and stands out among other users. Alternatively, use an image that represents your brand. If you use an image, be sure to make it high-resolution and reflect your brand. Otherwise, it will be hard for potential customers to identify you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_be_changed_before_deleting_your_account\"><\/span>It can be changed before deleting your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your email address and username on Twitter before deactivating your account. Before deactivating your account, you must confirm the new email address and confirm your decision to delete your account. If you already have connected third-party apps, they can reactivate your account. If you don&#8217;t want them to do so, you can revoke them. This will prevent these apps from accessing your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>You can also change your display name before deleting your account on Twitter. When deleting an account, Twitter removes all the data associated with the username. However, changing a display name will keep your original username available for use by others. You can also change your Twitter profile picture before you delete your account. After making the changes, you can refresh the page to see the new username you&#8217;ve selected.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"271\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yskdo8RZnVY\" width=\"484\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Change Your @ Name on Twitter?
