Your ‘Twitter handle’ is basically your username on Twitter and is unique to your profile. It is the name that people type in the search box to be directed to your profile. While you may change your screen name multiple times, frequently changing your Twitter handle isn’t something that is advised because it may confuse people who want to look you up. That being said, you may want to change your username if a handle that you always wanted has been let go by its previous owner and is not available. In this article, we show you how to change your Twitter handle on an iPhone, an Android device, and a web browser.
