Snapchat has announced a new feature allowing users to change the username of the already existing account. Until now, users were not able to change the username of their Snapchat account and the username they set at the time of account creation was permanent. However, Snapchat has recently said that users will now be able to change the username of their account.
The company said that the feature will launch for both Android and iOS devices on 23 February 2022. You will now be able to change the username of your already existing account on Snapchat without having to create a new account with your desired username. However, there’s a turning point to this new feature. Users can only change their username once a year, so you will have to choose the username carefully. Once you change the username, there’s no going back until the next year.
Changing Username On Snapchat
It will be possible to change the username on Snapchat after the feature comes to both iOS and Android devices on 23 February. To change the username on Snapchat, follow the steps given below-
- Open the Snapchat app on your device, and ensure you are signed in to your account.
