How do I change my username?

1. Open Profile (in the tab bar on your phone, or the profile icon at the top right on a computer), then choose Edit profile.
2. Next to your username, choose Change.
3. Enter the new username and choose Email me a link.
4. Open the email we send you and choose Confirm new username.

Your username changes only when you confirm it from that email. This stops anyone who gets into your account from renaming it.

Things to know

• Usernames use 3 to 20 letters, numbers or underscores.
• If you see That username isn't available., someone has it or it's reserved. Try another.
• If you see You've changed your username a lot recently., try again later.
• Your profile address changes with your username, so links you shared before stop working. Update any links you've posted elsewhere.
• Each confirmation link works once. If it doesn't work, ask for a new one from Edit profile.
