If you are not happy with your username, this article will show you how to change it on Twitter. First, you must find a new handle. Twitter has a feature that prompts you to change your username if the original one is already taken. After you have found a suitable handle, you need to click &#8220;Save&#8221; to make the change permanent. Make sure to choose a unique handle, as the name on Twitter is different from your display name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username\"><\/span>Changing your username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your Twitter username and display name can be done from within the Twitter app. After signing into Twitter, click on your profile picture. On the sidebar menu, tap Settings and privacy. Select Username, and then click on the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button. Enter the new username and save it. If you&#8217;ve been using the same name for years, you may want to change it now. In Twitter, a username is also known as a handle and is what other people see when they read your tweets.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve noticed that a certain username is already taken, you can report it to the account holder. You can also try using only letters or numbers. For example, you can try using &#8220;slack&#8221; as your username if your account name is in the tech industry. Alternatively, you can use &#8220;maserati&#8221; for your username. However, you should note that this method of changing usernames is not recommended, as Twitter&#8217;s policy prohibits users from purchasing other people&#8217;s names.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_a_suitable_handle\"><\/span>Finding a suitable handle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing a username for Twitter isn&#8217;t as difficult as you might think. First of all, you should choose a username that conveys the desired emotion. Make it easy for people to find it. You can even use a brand name or an abbreviation &#8211; for example, &#8216;Chili&#8217;s Grill and Bar&#8217; or &#8216;Bobby Van&#8217;s&#8217;. A good Twitter handle will also contain the location of your business. This is especially important if you operate a restaurant &#8211; if you want your customers to find you.<\/p>\n<p>While many people have successfully transferred their Twitter handle to another account, it is still important to ensure that your new handle is safe. Some users have been blackmailed into releasing their Twitter handles. One such case was Naoki Hiroshima, who had to give up his @N, but later recovered it. In order to protect users from such incidents, Twitter introduced two-factor authentication last May. However, if you&#8217;re transferring a handle, it is always better to have a backup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_display_name\"><\/span>Changing your display name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your Twitter display name, you&#8217;ll need to go to your profile page. There, you can change your bio, change your profile picture, and add links. After you&#8217;ve finished editing your profile, click &#8220;Save.&#8221; You&#8217;ll see a page like the one below. You can then save your changes to keep your Twitter account consistent. To see how to change your Twitter display name, click &#8220;Edit Profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to use your real name, you can simply change your display name. While you can&#8217;t include &#8220;Twitter&#8221; or &#8220;admin&#8221; in your display name, changing your name is simple. It only takes a minute and is available on desktop and mobile apps. Twitter doesn&#8217;t care how many times you change it; it&#8217;s only visible to people who follow you. So, what should you change your display name to?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username_on_the_web\"><\/span>Changing your username on the web<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your username on the web in Twitter is possible if you want to keep the same identity on the web. To do so, sign into your Twitter account and go to Settings and privacy. In the &#8220;Username&#8221; field, enter the new name you want and click &#8220;Save.&#8221; The new username will now appear in your profile. After the change is made, you can begin tweeting under your new name.<\/p>\n<p>You can change your username on the web or on the app. The most convenient way to do this is by editing the existing username within your account settings. The second method involves creating a new account. This method is recommended if you plan on saving a unique username for future use but is not encouraged by Twitter. However, if you choose to use this method, make sure that you are using the new username for Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_display_name_on_the_mobile_app\"><\/span>Changing your display name on the mobile app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you sign in to Facebook for mobile, you have the option to change your display name on the home page. You can do so anytime. Changing your display name is not an immediate process, however. You will have to wait until your account is verified before making the change. Once verified, you can continue to use your account. After the change is made, your display name will return to its default setting. Here&#8217;s how to change it.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your display name on Twitter is relatively easy and doesn&#8217;t take too long. It is similar to changing your username, except that you don&#8217;t have to use the word &#8220;Twitter.&#8221; Your display name will appear first on your profile, and your username will appear beneath it. You can change your display name at any time by editing your account and clicking &#8220;Save.&#8221; To change your display name in the mobile app, simply tap on your profile pic, then select &#8220;Edit Profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cj_8RcgP5AU\" height=\"302\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change @ in Twitter Are you wondering how to change @ in Twitter?
