How do I edit my username on Plenty of Fish?
Dating is a complex process. However, it has become simpler over the years due to the advent of online dating sites such as Plenty of Fish (POF). Through such platforms, people have managed to meet their soul mates.
Your name says a lot about you, hence you may want to change it from time to time to improve your first impression or as a simple experiment to see if luck will turn its tables in case you haven't been getting too much action on these sites. If you take the time to follow the simple step-by-step guide below, you will know how to go about editing your username on Plenty of Fish.

Editing your username on Plenty of Fish
All Plenty of Fish users should bear in mind that the option of updating their username is available only if they are POF users with an upgraded membership. You may access the best POF features through its upgraded subscription by logging into the POF website address via your iPhone or Android device to change your username. You need to follow some few steps:

  1. Go to the right corner of the page
  2. Click on "Edit Profile"
  3. If you're using any of the POF apps, click "Profile" then "Edit Profile".
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and if you're using the iPhone app, check above the "Mail Settings".
  5. Now type in your new preferred username then click on "Update Registration."
  6. POF Android app users may complete this step by clicking on the green "save" icon connoted with a tick. Also, if you're using the iPhone app, you can simply click on "Update Profile" to save the new changes to complete this process.

If you went through the whole process, but the new changes don't reflect on your account, you may be facing difficulties because;

  1. You may have failed to click on the "Update Registration" or the "Update Profile" icon to save the change.
  2. You chose a username that's already in use.
  3. You may have included invalid characters such as "@", "&", or "'", among others.
  4. You included a space when typing your name, yet it should be one word.
  5. If you encounter any problem, you should choose another username and try again.

Alternatively
If you constantly have trouble when updating your POF information, you may find additional assistance by contacting the company's customer care team who will help you find quick solutions for this problem or any other troubling issue related to your POF account.
