You can change your Twitter handle to something more creative with symbols or emojis. If you want to use an emoji, you can choose to use it on your mobile device or your computer. Otherwise, you can use only alphanumeric characters to change your Twitter username. Regardless of how you want to change your Twitter handle, you can do it using the following instructions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identifying_an_imposter_account\"><\/span>Identifying an imposter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently noticed that someone has impersonated you on Twitter, you&#8217;re not alone. Many people are victimized by fake Twitter accounts using their name, picture, or school bio. Even though Facebook and Twitter rely on users to report abuse, some decisions seem arbitrarily harsh. To avoid becoming a victim yourself, identify an imposter account and report it to the Twitter community. Follow this guide to identify these fake accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should do is use Twitter Advanced Search to look for the earliest mentions of suspected fakes. You can also use the Twitter Old Usernames post for information on date-sensitive searches. Usually the first mentions come from the same person&#8217;s alt accounts, so you should try searching the first ten tweets. You may discover interesting information. Use Twitter Advanced Search to find the first tweets of suspected fakes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_Twitter_handle\"><\/span>Changing your Twitter handle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have noticed that your chosen Twitter username has been taken, you&#8217;ve probably considered changing it. Twitter allows you to choose just letters and numbers, but you can&#8217;t use common words, symbols, or spaces in your username. Inactive accounts will take at least 30 days to be added back to the pool. To avoid waiting that long, try choosing a different one. But remember to keep a few things in mind. Here are some tips on how to change your Twitter handle to avoid being taken.<\/p>\n<p>First, when changing your Twitter handle, make sure you log out of your current account. Set up a new account with the new handle and the old one. Your new account should have your old username, your bio explaining the change, and your old profile pic. You can also change your avatar. If you&#8217;ve changed your business name, you can set your notifications to email you at your old Twitter handle, but be aware that these emails will eventually get lost in the shuffle.<\/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>You may be wondering whether you can change your Twitter display name. Well, you can. The good news is that Twitter does not limit the number of changes you can make. Unlike some other sites that require verification, Twitter does not ask you to provide a reason for changing your name. If you&#8217;re unsure whether or not you can change your Twitter username, you can use the following steps. Once you&#8217;ve made the change, make sure to change your username again to avoid any issues.<\/p>\n<p>Your display name will appear above your username when people look up your account. If you&#8217;re running a brand account, your display name should be your brand name. If you&#8217;re a celebrity, use your real name. If you&#8217;re trying to build a Twitter following, you can use your stage name. It&#8217;s a simple process, and your new name will be updated immediately. However, you should avoid using a display name that is similar to your real name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username_on_a_mobile_device\"><\/span>Changing your username on a mobile device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your Twitter username on a mobile phone or tablet is quite simple. You simply click the avatar in the upper right-hand corner of your Twitter account and select the menu option &#8220;settings and privacy.&#8221; From there, you can change your display name. Once you have chosen a new display name, you must confirm it by clicking on the &#8220;confirm&#8221; button. Once you have done so, you&#8217;ll be able to see your new display name at the top of your profile and on all tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your Twitter username on a mobile phone is just as easy as changing it on a desktop computer. First, you need to open the Twitter application and sign in. Next, you&#8217;ll need to click on the &#8220;more&#8221; button in the navigation bar. Select &#8220;Account Information&#8221; and then type in your new username. Tap on &#8220;Save&#8221; when you&#8217;re finished. After that, you&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"445\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cj_8RcgP5AU\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My Twitter @?
