How To Do It<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Twitter username is one of your account\u2019s unique identifiers. It is one of the required credentials to log into your account. In fact, people can easily find and follow you on X with your username. Another popular name for your username is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/what-is-a-twitter-handle-all-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter handle<\/a>. Your username appears after the \u201cat\u201d (@) symbol on your profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering its importance, tweeps give much thought before choosing a username. However, it\u2019s almost impossible to get it right the first time. Even when you do, you may have to change your username when changing your online brand. Fortunately, you can change your X username. Twitter allows you to modify this account identifier anytime, adhering to the outlined guidelines for handles. So, this section will show you how to change your handle on Twitter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, though, here are some important rules guiding username changes on X:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your username must be within 4 to 15 characters.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The username can only have letters and numbers. You cannot have symbols in it except the underscore.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your username must not contain spaces.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You cannot use an already existing handle on the platform.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your new username adheres to these rules, follow the five steps below to change your Twitter handle:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the X navigation menu by sliding your homepage from left to right.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap \u201cSettings and Support\u201d and click \u201cSettings and Privacy.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cYour account\u201d and open \u201cAccount information.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cUsername\u201d and change the handle on the page.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap \u201cDone\u201d in the blue highlight to effect the change.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This action immediately updates your Twitter handle, and your old username becomes available for another user. Nothing else changes on your account after this action. Your contact and account growth remains consistent even after a username change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1894\" height=\"889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-1-7.png\" alt=\"TweetEraser\u2019s screenshot of Twitter settings showing how to change your X username. \" class=\"wp-image-2336\" style=\"width:947px;height:445px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Twitter_Display_Name_on_Your_Account\"><\/span><strong>How To Change Twitter Display Name on Your Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-side\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-side-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-side-box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bulk-delete-head\">Bulk delete past tweets with one click<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"subscribe-to-unlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/login\/\">\n\t                 Sign in with Twitter <svg width=\"10\" height=\"10\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 10\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M9.1605 0H0.849401C0.626751 0 0.413219 0.0884475 0.255781 0.245885C0.0983438 0.403323 0.00989626 0.616854 0.00989626 0.839505C0.00989626 1.06216 0.0983438 1.27569 0.255781 1.43312C0.413219 1.59056 0.626751 1.67901 0.849401 1.67901H7.13309L0.256291 8.55665C0.17611 8.63409 0.112154 8.72673 0.0681567 8.82915C0.0241591 8.93157 0.00100033 9.04173 3.16969e-05 9.1532C-0.000936937 9.26467 0.020304 9.37522 0.062515 9.47839C0.104726 9.58156 0.167062 9.67529 0.245885 9.75412C0.324709 9.83294 0.418441 9.89527 0.521613 9.93748C0.624785 9.9797 0.735331 10.0009 0.846799 9.99997C0.958268 9.999 1.06843 9.97584 1.17085 9.93184C1.27327 9.88785 1.36591 9.82389 1.44335 9.74371L8.32099 2.86649V9.1506C8.32099 9.37325 8.40944 9.58678 8.56688 9.74422C8.72431 9.90166 8.93785 9.9901 9.1605 9.9901C9.38315 9.9901 9.59668 9.90166 9.75412 9.74422C9.91155 9.58678 10 9.37325 10 9.1506V0.839505C10 0.616854 9.91155 0.403323 9.75412 0.245885C9.59668 0.0884475 9.38315 0 9.1605 0Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t                <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/themes\/generatepress_child\/assets\/images\/single-post-img.svg\" alt=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t   <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not a unique account identifier, your display name on X is an important account identifier. Undoubtedly, you know most tweeps by their display name, not their handles. Similarly, many tweeps know you by your display name, not your handle. On Twitter, your display name even appears before your handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s more freedom when choosing your display name than the username. Your Twitter display name can have letters, numbers, symbols, and emojis. Its length is also not an issue; the maximum limit is 50 characters. Moreover, you can use the same display name as another user!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re bored with your current one and want to spice it up, you can easily change it. You can also change it to align with your brand. Whatever your reasons, these four steps will guide you to change your display name from your profile page:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the X navigation menu on the website or mobile app. You can do this by tapping your profile icon on the top left of your homepage and selecting \u201cProfile.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the \u201cEdit profile\u201d button on your profile page under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/twitter-headers-achieving-perfection-with-cover-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter header<\/a> to the right.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change your display name in the \u201cName\u201d field provided.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cSave\u201d at the top right of the page to effect the change.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is how to change the Twitter display name on any account. But remember that your display name and profile picture are the easiest ways to recognize you on X. So, it\u2019s best not to change both simultaneously. It may also help you to notify your followers after a name change so they can easily identify you. You can lure engagement by explaining your rationale for the change or requesting their opinions on your new name.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Frequently_Can_You_Make_a_Twitter_Name_Change\"><\/span><strong>How Frequently Can You Make a Twitter Name Change?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the overwhelming processes and requirements prevent us from changing our government names. However, that is not a factor with social media names. As this article shows, changing your name on social media, especially Twitter, is easy. But, after learning how to change your name on Twitter, another concern may be the permitted frequency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about that on X; there is no frequency limit for a Twitter name change. That is true for your username and your display name. Unlike other social media platforms like Instagram, which have reasonable limits, Twitter imposes none.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, this is not leverage to be whimsical about changing your name to suit your every mood and idea. Remember, your names on X are your identifiers, and you cannot grow without people recognizing you. If you choose to update your contacts after every name change, think how unserious you\u2019ll look with every change.&nbsp;Instead of names, change your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/twitter-profile-picture-ideas-making-a-great-impression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter profile pictures<\/a> and headers to reflect the changing seasons or your life changes. Veteran tweeps agree that it\u2019s best to maintain your X name for longer periods. This way, people eagerly searching for your tweets on their timelines will easily find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jamie-street-33oxtOMk6Ac-unsplash-3.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of a hand holding a phone showing a lock screen displaying WhatsApp and Twitter push messages. \" class=\"wp-image-2338\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Use_an_Old_Twitter_Name_on_the_Same_Account\"><\/span><strong>Can I Use an Old Twitter Name on the Same Account?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebranding isn\u2019t always the solution; sometimes, you\u2019ll find out the hard way. Similarly, a name change may not provide the desired result for your account. If this is the case, it sometimes helps to revert to previously successful brands or names. However, you may wonder whether Twitter will allow you to reuse a name.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is your display name, you can reuse it after changing it, even if someone else is using it. Twitter allows multiple users to share the same display name because it is not a unique identifier of accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, if you\u2019ve learned how to change your Twitter name, you\u2019ll know that the case is slightly different for your username. Twitter handles are unique identifiers, and only one person can use them at a time. So, this makes Twitter usernames exclusive to users, albeit temporarily. That means your username becomes available for others only when you change it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, your ability to reuse your old Twitter username depends on its availability. If someone else picks it up after you change it, you\u2019ll be unable to reuse it. However, you can return it anytime if it remains unused after changing. Twitter will not prevent you from taking up an old handle, provided it is still available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter names are not one-time identities; they don&#8217;t expire after use. That is why someone else can even take up your handle when you drop it. So, you can return to your Twitter name immediately after changing it or after some time. You can also modify it creatively. However, always ensure that your chosen name adheres to all the guidelines provided for X names.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Do_if_Someone_Takes_My_Desired_Username\"><\/span><strong>What Can I Do if Someone Takes My Desired Username?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, Twitter does not allow you to register a new username even if it conforms to the required guidelines. That is most likely when someone else already registered that handle. So what can you do when this happens? The easiest option is forfeiting your chosen username and selecting another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are ways to work around this constraint to get the username or a close substitute. The first thing you can do is reach out to the person with the username. You send him a Twitter DM and ask if he will give up that username. This option is effective if you can convince him of the importance of the username to your brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if you have a registered trademark for that handle, you can get Twitter to release it. You only need to file a report against that user since using the handle violates your copyright. Then Twitter will review your report and take action to retrieve the handle. However, it is best to use this approach when the user fails to release the username willingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, you can be creative and make variations of the name. Although the rules limit what you can do, you can still create something novel and interesting. For example, you can add underscores between words or conclude a business handle with \u201cINC\u201d or \u201cHQ\u201d in the username. You can also creatively substitute words while maintaining accurate pronunciation. For instance, you could spell black as \u201cblaq,\u201d white as \u201cwhyte\u201d and consolidate as \u201cconsolid8.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/kelly-sikkema-v1w9OxMOuqo-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"A blurry image of the Twitter bird and X icons drawn on a brown background.\" class=\"wp-image-2339\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_They_Change_the_Name_of_Twitter_Why_the_Change\"><\/span><strong>Did They Change the Name of Twitter? Why the Change?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you browse the internet for information about Twitter, you\u2019ll now see answers referring to another platform, as it were. So, you may wonder, \u201cDid they change the name of Twitter?\u201d Yes, Twitter now has a new name, X. Simple as it appears, this is now the new name of the platform, and the new logo reflects that, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name change is one of the numerous changes following Elon Musk\u2019s acquisition and takeover of Twitter in October 2022. First, he placed the company under a parent company, X Corp. Then, he rebranded the platform from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/twitter-to-x-rebrand-the-story-behind-elon-musks-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter to X<\/a>, changing even the logo and ditching the popular Twitter bird. Twitter is no longer the blue app; it is now a black-themed app with X as its new logo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elon Musk explains that this change springs from his sentimental attachment to the letter X. Still, more importantly, he asserts that it is a precursor and an accelerant for an everything app. His goal is to convert the microblogging site to a more expressive one, hence the need for a Twitter name change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not a fan of change, it\u2019s reasonable to remain skeptical about where Musk\u2019s changes will lead. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy the platform with heightened safety measures. One way is to clear your Twitter data to enhance privacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can employ TweetEraser, an effective Twitter management tool, for this task. This tool seamlessly bulk-deletes tweets, schedules automated deletion, and imports data into your archive. The system also stores your deleted tweets to ensure you can access them anytime.
