Your display name is a unique identifier for your Twitter account and you can change it as often as you want. It&#8217;s case-insensitive and unique to your account, so there&#8217;s no reason to change it too often. Listed below are several ways to change your display name. Once you&#8217;ve changed it, you won&#8217;t lose your followers or previous tweets, but you won&#8217;t be able to change it back. In order to ensure your friends aren&#8217;t confused by your change, Twitter suggests that you make a notification to them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display_name_is_a_personal_identifier_for_your_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Display name is a personal identifier for your Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few reasons why you might want to change the display name of your Twitter account. Not only does your username appear bold next to your tweets, but you can also use your brand name or stage name. Your display name is the first thing people will see when they find you on Twitter, so choose something that reflects who you are. If you&#8217;re using Twitter for business, your display name should be your brand name. Otherwise, you&#8217;re wasting your time.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your username is easier than you think. If you&#8217;ve gotten tired of your current username, simply click the &#8216;change username&#8217; button and type a new one. When you&#8217;re done, select Save. You can also change your username on Twitter using the mobile app. To change it on your mobile device, open the Twitter app and log in. Go to Settings and privacy and select Account. Type your new username in the field provided, and click Done.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_change_it_as_often_as_you_want\"><\/span>You can change it as often as you want<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are tired of being recognized by the same old username, Twitter lets you change your handle or username as much as you want. Your display name is the larger and longer name that appears on the top of your profile and on every tweet. This will help you keep your account professional and unique. Just follow the steps below to change your Twitter handle. Once you&#8217;ve made the change, you&#8217;ll be able to use it whenever you like!<\/p>\n<p>You can edit your Twitter username to include your location, underscore, or hyphen. These characters contribute to the character count of your tweets, so they&#8217;re important to use wisely. To change your username, the easiest way is to go into the settings of your existing Twitter account. After logging in, navigate to the profile settings and select &#8216;Username&#8217;. Enter the desired username into the corresponding field, and click &#8216;Save&#8217;. You can now begin tweeting under the new username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_case_sensitive\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not case sensitive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change your username on Twitter, the answer is simple. On both iOS and Android, users can click on the profile icon to change their username. Then, tap on Settings &gt; Account &gt; Username. Under the Name section, type in the new username you&#8217;d like to use. Finally, tap Done to save your changes. Follow the steps above to change your username on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to know that the new username must be between four and 15 characters. This includes underscores and numbers. You may want to tell your followers of your new username by replying or messaging using it. The new username will be displayed next to your current username. Once you&#8217;ve changed your Twitter username, your existing followers will not see the change. Your new username will appear next to your profile photo, where you can see who&#8217;s following you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_call_to_action\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a call to action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your display name on Twitter any time you wish. If you are a verified account, however, you can&#8217;t change your username because it will lose your verification check mark. Also, changing your name may confuse followers. So, here are some tips to change your name on Twitter. Follow these steps and you&#8217;ll have a more distinctive Twitter identity. But, do keep in mind that a display name is not a substitute for a username.<\/p>\n<p>You can change your display name on Twitter, the longer and bold name that appears next to your tweets. Changing it is a good idea for your brand and the purpose of your account. Your display name is the most visible part of your profile and the most prominent feature of your account, so choosing a name that conveys your brand or purpose will help you get more followers and boost your visibility.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"300\" width=\"537\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yskdo8RZnVY\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My @ Name on Twitter?
