How to Change Your TikTok Username

If you’re not fond of your TikTok username, you can choose something you like better. Here, we’ll show you how to change your TikTok username in the mobile app and on the web.

About Changing Your Username on TikTok

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re considering picking a new TikTok username:

• You can only change your username once every 30 days.
• You must pick a unique username that only contains letters, numbers, periods, and underscores. You cannot have a period at the end of the username.
• Changing your username also changes your profile link.
• Changing your username removes the verification if you have a verified TikTok account. In this case, you can contact TikTok support for assistance in changing your username.
