Almost everyone knows that we can change the display name in our Twitter account. But most of us don’t know that we can also change our Twitter username/Twitter handle. There are several reasons why one would want to change their Twitter handle. Maybe you’re stuck with a bad username you created in your youth, or maybe you want to change it to get a fresh start. Whatever your reason, if you want to change your Twitter username, here’s how.
Change Your Twitter Username in 2020
Our Twitter handles are like our digital address. If you’re tired of people messaging you on Twitter and want a fresh start, attacking your followers and starting with a new username is a great option. This way you don’t need to delete your Twitter account and create a new one.
In this article, I will show you how you can change your Twitter handle using web and mobile applications. For the mobile app, I’m using Twitter for iPhone, but the process is the same on Android, so it shouldn’t matter much. The web app is the same across all browsers and platforms, so we don’t have any issues.

1. First, click on the “More” menu.
2. Click here to open the “Settings and privacy” section.
3. Now go to Account -> Account Information. You may need to re-enter your password to enter it.
4. Here, click Username.
5. Finally, change the username and click “Save” button.

2. Here go to Account -> Username.
