Starting out on TikTok requires setting a profile name and username. As your presence grows, you may want to update them—for privacy, to match your evolving content, or to adopt a more captivating identity.
Fortunately, editing your profile name (display name) or username (@handle) is quick and easy.
Navigate to your profile by tapping the "Me" icon in the bottom-right corner.
Before updating your username, keep these key points in mind: You can only change it once every 30 days, so choose thoughtfully. Also, it updates your personal TikTok URL (like tiktok.com/@username), meaning old links will no longer direct to your videos.
