If you have always wondered why can’t there be an easy way to change your username on Snapchat! Finally, the good news awaits you. Snapchat, in their latest update (released on February 23), announced that their users will now be able to change their username without having to create another account. Snapchat has pushed the update worldwide both for Android and iOS users.
Earlier Snapchat users had to stick with their old username for as long as they didn’t want to create a fresh account with a new email address. Well, things have changed, and all for the better! With this new Snapchat update, you can update your profile username once a year. Keep reading further to know how to change your name on Snapchat.
How To Change Your Username On Snapchat?
Changing your username on Snapchat requires you to toggle 4 simple steps.
- Make sure you have installed the latest version of Snapchat from the app store/play store, depending on your device.
- Head to your Snapchat account profile section by tapping the Bitmoji icon in the top right corner of the camera.
- Tap the gear icon, then “Username.”
- Select “Change Username.”
That’s it. Tell me, was there ever an easier way to change your Snapchat username?
Terms And Conditions To Keep In Mind Before Changing Your Snapchat Username
Snapchat allows you to change your username with the new update, but there’s a catch! Be cautioned that you can only change your username once a year! Additionally, you won’t be allowed to pick a handle/username that’s been used in the past. So if you were trying to secure an old username used by you or someone else before, this change would not help.
And once you switch to your new username, your old alias is gone forever! (poof!) so make sure you keep these pointers in mind before making a call.
Conclusion
Whenever you thought of changing your Snapchat username before this update, you created another account because there was no other way out. With this release, (which happened to be in beta for a long time for the Snappers in Australia), you can now change your Snapchat username with ease – without having to do any such formalities.
