How do I change my Twitter username?
Changing your username on X, often referred to as Twitter, is a straightforward process that can be done through the app or website. First, you need to log into your account. Once you are logged in, navigate to your profile by clicking on your profile picture or icon. From there, look for the option to access your account settings; this is usually found in a menu labeled "Settings and Privacy."
In the settings section, you will find the option to edit your profile. Click on that, and you will see your current username displayed. You can enter a new username in the provided field. Keep in mind that usernames must be unique and can include letters, numbers, and underscores, but no spaces or special characters. After entering your desired username, save the changes.
It is important to note that if the new username you have chosen is already in use by another user, you will need to select a different one. For more detailed instructions or if you encounter any issues, you may want to explore the help center available on the X website.
