Snapchat has been in existence for over a decade and still lacked a crucial feature: the ability to edit usernames, which is easily available on social media apps like Instagram, Twitter, and more. Not anymore! The messaging platform has now added the ‘Change username’ feature, using which you can finally modify your Snapchat username if you are too embarrassed or bored of the current one.
Snapchat says that users will be able to change their usernames on both Android and iOS, starting February 23. This feature will roll out at a global level, and hence, it will reach all users.
Before you proceed, there are a few things to note. Firstly, Snapchat allows users to update their usernames only once a year and users won’t be able to use a name that was used in the past. Plus, once the username changes, the old one will be gone forever.
For those who don’t know, while you can’t change your username currently, you can still change your Snapchat display name. Again, it can be done by going to the Settings -> Clicking on the Name option -> Entering the ones you like and you are sorted!
