How do you change username on Snapchat account?

[Khushi]

Can someone please help me to change username on snapchat account?

I literally just did this last week. Go to settings (the gear icon), tap 'Username' right under your name, and there should be a big blue button that says 'Change Username.' It makes you put in your password to confirm, but it doesn't delete your memories or anything. Just don't typo it lol.

Careful though, you can only change it ONCE A YEAR. If you pick another dumb name, you’re stuck with it until 2027. Choose wisely.

Wait, so if I change it, does my old one become available for someone else? I want to move my alt name to my main account.

Pretty sure once you change it, the old one is gone forever. Nobody can use it again, not even you. Snap is weird like that.

emoji:bulb:Expert Helper To clarify for everyone:

1. Tap your Bitmoji in the top left.
2. Hit the Gear icon (Settings).
3. Select "Username."
4. Tap "Change Username."
   
   Note: This only changes your handle. Your "Display Name" (the one people see in chats) can be changed whenever you want by tapping "Name" in the same settings menu.

I tried doing this and it keeps saying "Something went wrong." Is the server down or am I just cursed?

Me too. Seriously, Snapchat is garbage. Every update breaks something else.

ugh same. it’s been bugged for me for days. tried reinstalling the app and it still won’t let me click confirm.

Imagine having a username so bad you're willing to risk your snap streaks to change it. Just embrace the cringe.

Does this work on the web version? I don't have my phone on me right now.

Nope, gotta be on the app. Desktop version is basically useless for account settings.
