When we create a new account on the TikTok social network, it is the app itself that provides you with a username based on your email address or Google / Facebook account used in the registration of your account. A priori, the user can understand that this random username is given to you because another potentially loved one has been assigned to another user..
However this does not mean that your preferred username is already taken. All you have to do is change your TikTok username to whatever you want. If this name is already in use, you can continue testing with other user names until one is free. In addition, the user name does not always have to be linked to your email, but can be personalized and choose the one you like best.
That said, below we want to show you step by step how to change the username or profile name in TikTok from the app for Android or iPhone:
How to change the username of your Tik Tok account.
