How do you change your Snapchat username on iPhone?

As of my last update, Snapchat does not allow you to change your Snapchat username once it has been set. Your username is a permanent identifier and cannot be altered through the app's settings. However, you can change other aspects of your profile, such as your display name, which is different from your username and can be updated. Here's how you can change your display name on Snapchat:

### Changing Your Display Name on Snapchat

1. **Open Snapchat**:
   - Launch the Snapchat app on your iPhone.

2. **Go to Your Profile**:
   - Tap on your **Profile Icon** in the top-left corner of the screen to access your profile.

3. **Access Settings**:
   - Tap on the **Settings** icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner of your profile screen.

4. **Edit Your Name**:
   - In the **Settings** menu, tap on **Name** under the **My Account** section.
   - Here you can enter a new **First Name** and **Last Name** (this is your display name on Snapchat). Your username remains unchanged.

5. **Save Changes**:
   - After entering your new name, tap **Save** to apply the changes.

### Alternative: Changing Your Snapchat Username

If you must change your Snapchat username, the only way to do so is by creating a new Snapchat account. Here's how you can create a new account:

1. **Log Out of Your Current Account**:
   - Open Snapchat and go to your profile.
   - Tap on **Settings** (gear icon) and scroll down to **Log Out**.

2. **Create a New Account**:
   - After logging out, tap on **Sign Up** to create a new Snapchat account.
   - Follow the prompts to enter a new username, email, password, and other details.

3. **Transfer Your Contacts and Data**:
   - You will need to manually add your friends again on the new account, as Snapchat does not transfer friends or data from one account to another.

### Summary

While you cannot change your Snapchat username, you can modify your display name which is visible to others. If changing your username is necessary, the only option is to create a new account with your desired username. Remember to inform your friends about your new username if you decide to create a new account.
