How do I change my username and profile name on TikTok?

Quick Guide: How to change your username and profile name on TikTok

  • The username (also called handle) always appears after an “@”. It is displayed under your profile picture and is how others can tag and find you.
  • The profile name (also called name or nickname) is shown at the very top of your profile.

Steps to change your TikTok username and/or profile name:

  1. Open the TikTok app and go to your profile (icon at the bottom right).
  2. Tap Edit profile.
  3. Now you can change your username (= handle) and/or your profile name (= display name).

⚠️ Note:

  • The username can only be changed once every 30 days.
  • The profile name can be changed once every 7 days.
