What’s in a name? Nothing, as it’s merely a medium to call/recognize something or someone. While I don’t contradict this famous William Shakespeare’s quote, I think a name had never assumed more significance before. In an era where a short lip-syncing TikTok video can make someone a huge star overnight, a name does matter a lot – whether for invoking stardom or gaining sympathy. So, for whatever reason, if you aren’t pleased with your existing TikTok username and think that tweaking the name could bring you a ton of luck making your videos win millions of views and hearts, you are at the right place. Let’s jump right in to change your TikTok username on iPhone or Android devices!
Is there any catch? Yeah, a big one. That’s why it’s worth weighing whether the tradeoff is worth it. First and foremost, changing your TikTok username will also change your profile link. So, think twice before tweaking your name as a new name might confuse many of your followers. If you are willing to use a fancy username for your TikTok account, let me warn you upfront that you are allowed to use only letters, numbers, underscores and periods in your name. On top of all, the ByteDance owned video-sharing platform allows users to change usernames only once in 30 days. Now that you know the aftereffects and ready to cope with them, it’s time to get on with steps.
