While there&#8217;s no hard and fast rule for this, there are certain steps you should follow to get the job done. If you find that your current handle is being used by someone else, you can change it as soon as you discover it. Fortunately, Twitter allows you to do this multiple times, so don&#8217;t be afraid to ask! Alternatively, you can contact the account holder and request them to change it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_change_your_display_name_at_any_time\"><\/span>You can change your display name at any time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your display name in Twitter at anytime. It will appear bold next to your tweets and will affect very little else. Choose a display name that is appropriate for your brand or purpose. There are many options, so be creative when choosing your display name! However, if you don&#8217;t like the current name, you can change it at any time by clicking the &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>To change your display name on Twitter, first log into your account. Click the three bars at the top of the screen and then tap your profile picture. Then, tap the Edit Profile option just below the header image. Once you&#8217;ve made the necessary changes, click &#8220;Save&#8221; to make your new display name permanent. It may take a few minutes to make the change, so be patient and practice a few times before implementing the new display name!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_is_no_limit_on_the_number_of_times_you_can_change_your_handle\"><\/span>There is no limit on the number of times you can change your handle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike Facebook and Instagram, there is no limit on the number of times you change your handle. Twitter users can change their username as often as they want. If your handle is verified, changing it will automatically remove it from the network, so you must reapply to gain that status. Twitter recommends that you alert your followers before changing your @ so they can respond with your new handle.<\/p>\n<p>To change your username, visit the settings page on Twitter. Click on &#8220;Account Information&#8221; and click on &#8220;Change Your @.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be prompted to choose a new username. Then, click &#8220;Save.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_request_action_from_Twitter\"><\/span>You can request action from Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve noticed that your @ is spelled incorrectly, you can ask Twitter to change it. Using the help center, you can find out how to contact the account owner. Twitter is against using paid usernames, so if you are having trouble finding a user who matches your desired username, you can offer them payment to transfer the username. If the user does not agree to the transfer, Twitter will not allow the username to be changed.<\/p>\n<p>You can also request action from Twitter to change your display name. This name appears bold next to your tweets, but it will affect little else. Your display name should reflect who you are or what your account is about. If the username is your brand or your own, you can change it. Twitter will let you keep it if you can prove it&#8217;s a genuine trademark. If you are unsure, try searching for the trademarked username that&#8217;s not already taken.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_contact_the_holder_of_the_account\"><\/span>You can contact the holder of the account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can contact the holder of a Twitter account to change your @, you should understand what they are asking you. You need to make sure your audience will understand this change. The change should not confuse them or affect their experience. Therefore, you should avoid using their name and handle unless it is absolutely necessary. In some rare cases, it may be necessary to contact the holder of the account in order to change their @.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to update your @ on Twitter. The first method is to change your username within the settings of your existing account. Another method is to create a new account. However, this is frowned upon as Twitter has policies against it. It is recommended that you contact the holder of the Twitter account first before you do so. It is also possible that you might already have a Twitter account and want to change it. If this happens, you can report the account to clear the confusion.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"229\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cj_8RcgP5AU\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your @ in Twitter In this article we&#8217;ll show you how to change your Twitter handle.
