Snapchat users will be able to change their usernames on the platform starting February 23, Snap announced. This name change will not affect other aspects of the account, such as the friends list, statistics, memories, and more.
Snapchat will allow you to change your username once a year.
A username change that will have some limitations, Snap warns, such as the most basic: usernames that have already been used. Furthermore, the change will not be permanent; it can be changed every year, according to the Snapchat app itself.
Username changes will be available on iOS and Android ecosystems worldwide starting February 23.
How to change your Snapchat username
To change your Snapchat username, follow these steps:
-Tap on the Bitmoji , the icon at the top left of the camera screen where you access the user profile.
-Select the settings menu by pressing the gear icon that appears in the upper right corner.
-Go to the Username section , where the “Change username” option will appear in a blue button.
-Enter a new username (one that has not been used previously) and click “Next” to finish.
Snap claims that this username-changing feature is one of the most requested by users of the social network. Given that it’s a platform based on ephemerality, they believe it’s reasonable that a significant number of Snapchat users—which already surpassed 280 million last year —would want to align the changes taking place in their personal lives with the identity they present through their profile, which includes changing their name.
Snapchat, which has added new chat features , has also shut down the Zenly app .
