One of the first things we do when entering any social network is decide the username we are going to have. The issue is that, as time goes by, we may find it convenient to change the profile and user name on TikTok . The reasons could be many, perhaps we did not think it would be seen publicly, we decided to change the brand name (for content creators), the name is not appropriate for the content we are making, etc..
Whatever the reason, changing the profile or user name is something extremely simple that we can do in just a few steps, although we must consider a few things before doing it, which we will make clear a little further down.
This guide is suitable for all devices. Regardless of whether we use TikTok in the web browser on PC, Android, iOS or Chromebook, for example..
Change profile and user name on TikTok
- Let's go to our profile page, for this we will have to look for the Profile icon in the upper right corner.
- Next, we will select Edit profile.
- Here we will have to choose Name or Username.
- We proceed to write our new username.
Things to consider
There are a few things we should consider when changing the profile and user name on TikTok. The first thing will be that it can only be changed once every 30 days. Therefore, we will have to make sure we choose the correct name when we change it, because we will have to spend a minimum of a month with it.
When we change our username, the TikTok URL will be changed. This means that the address will be tiktok.com/nuevoname. This can harm certain profiles, because any user who tries to use the previous address will not find our profile. So it is something extremely important that we should take into account..
Verified accounts do not stay that way when we change the username. Once we make the change, we will have to deal with the entire verification process again.
If your account is new, you shouldn't have to worry about these things. However, if you already have a good number of followers and are verified, it would be advisable not to change the username.
