Changing your Twitter username is not a big deal and it won&#8217;t affect your followers or DMs. Here&#8217;s how to do it. Make sure your audience understands your new Twitter handle before changing it. After all, they&#8217;re already familiar with your content, so they shouldn&#8217;t be confused by a change.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_Twitter_username_can_help_you_become_more_anonymous_online\"><\/span>Changing your Twitter username can help you become more anonymous online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to remain anonymous online, changing your Twitter username is a great way to accomplish this. Your username is the part of your profile that people can see when they visit your profile. There are no restrictions when it comes to changing your username, so you can use any nickname or random number or character. If you already have a verified account, changing your username will lose your verification badge, and you will have to go through the verification process again. Changing your Twitter username is a great way to remain anonymous online and avoid being tracked by people.<\/p>\n<p>One way to be more anonymous on Twitter is to use a pseudonym or a random picture. Changing your Twitter username is an easy way to remain anonymous online. You can sign up through a browser, which will protect your identity. If you&#8217;re worried about your privacy, a newer Twitter account won&#8217;t survive long if it&#8217;s being harassed by people with a malicious intent. In addition to using an anonymous Twitter account, you can also use an anonymous email address, which can be obtained from a free Web-based email service.<\/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>Did you know that you can change your Twitter handle and username as often as you want? Although you can&#8217;t change your handle every day, you can change it as often as you want. To do so, go to Twitter settings and tap on the &#8220;Account&#8221; tab. Then type in your new handle in the space provided. Once approved, Twitter will let you know and allow you to change it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve selected a new name, you should notify your followers and tweets about it. You can do this in the Settings or Privacy section of your account. If you can&#8217;t find your desired username, Twitter will give you suggestions and prompt you to change it. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll get an error message. This is normal and happens when you&#8217;re not consistent with your username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_doesnt_affect_your_followers\"><\/span>It doesn&#8217;t affect your followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change your @name on Twitter, the answer is simple: you can do it. You can update your username by visiting your profile settings. By changing your username, you will become known as @NewName. You can easily change your Twitter username without losing any of your followers. Remember, your username will appear in the URL that is used for logging into your profile. It should be a few characters long, but not more than 15 characters.<\/p>\n<p>You can change your display name on Twitter at any time. To do this, go to your profile page and click the Edit profile button. You&#8217;ll be prompted to fill in your display name. Your username is the name that appears at the end of your Twitter URL. Your display name is the name that appears under your profile picture and is highlighted when you tweet. Your display name doesn&#8217;t have to be unique &#8211; you can use special characters and emojis in your handle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_doesnt_affect_your_DMs\"><\/span>It doesn&#8217;t affect your DMs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that you can change your @name on Twitter without affecting your DMs? If so, you&#8217;re in luck, because Twitter&#8217;s DMs system has some useful features that make changing your username a breeze. First, you can change your name at any time. Simply change your @name to something that&#8217;s more memorable and appealing to people. Twitter also gives you the option to disable the read receipts of any message you send to them.<\/p>\n<p>In order to change your name on Twitter, you&#8217;ll need to go into your profile and tap on the profile icon in the top left-hand corner. From there, tap &#8220;Edit Profile.&#8221; You&#8217;ll see a text field where you can change your name. Once you&#8217;ve changed it, tap the Save button to save the changes. Then, you&#8217;ll need to update your profile picture to show your new name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_doesnt_affect_your_tweets\"><\/span>It doesn&#8217;t affect your tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering if changing your Twitter handle will affect your follower base. The simple answer is no. The only way your follower base will be affected is if you mention someone with your old handle. However, your mentions under the old handle won&#8217;t link to your account. Also, your followers will not be affected if they check your profile URL instead of your handle. Change your Twitter username anytime you want.<\/p>\n<p>To change your Twitter name, you must first log out of your existing account and log into your old account. Go to the settings page and select privacy. Next, type your new username into the @name field. A list of available usernames will appear. Once you&#8217;ve found a suitable username, click on it and save your changes. Then, update your @OldUsername. Once you&#8217;re done, you can begin tweeting with your new handle.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yskdo8RZnVY\" width=\"374\" height=\"209\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your @Name on Twitter If you&#8217;re looking to remain anonymous online, you can change your Twitter @name to make this easier.
