Hey, all Snapchat users! For those of you who don’t know yet, you can now be able to change your username on the Snapchat application. Snapchat rolled out an update of its app earlier this year, enabling users to change their username from February 23rd onwards. Changing the username won’t affect any other aspect of a user’s account, such as their friend list, snap scores, memories, etc. However, the only catch here is that you can change your username only once a year. Here is a step-by-step guide that we have provided below on how to change your Snapchat username in 2022. 

Another note that Snapchat makes is that you can change your username to one that has not been previously owned by anyone else, including yourself. This implies that once you change your username, you won’t be able to revert it back. Hence, it is advised to choose a username wisely.

That’s it! Your Snapchat username gets changed within a snap, which the app confirms via a pop-up on your screen. The Snapchat username change update is getting a gradual roll-out and may not be available immediately to all users at the moment. To get your hands on this handy feature, you would need to ensure that you are using the latest version of the Snapchat application on your Android or iOS device. If not, then you can update the app via Play Store or App Store.  

As mentioned before, the username can be changed only once a year. However, if you have changed it already and still need to change it again before 1 year, your only other option is to delete your Snapchat account and create a new one. But the catch here would be that you won’t be able to transfer data from your old account to your new account. Hence, you would have to start your Snapchat journey afresh through your new account.
