| Snapchat lets you change your username for the first time |
Snap announced that Snapchat users will be able to change their username later this month.
This means that you can keep the name you originally used without creating a new account.
Changing the username does not affect all aspects of the user account, such as: b. Friends list, Snap codes, Snap results, Reminders, etc.
Snap said that from February 23, all iOS and Android users around the world will be able to change their username.
The company discovered that users were unable to determine which usernames were used. Once users decide to change their username, the app will remind them that they can only change their username once a year.
To change your username, you can access the profile section by clicking on the Bitmoji icon in the upper left corner of the camera.
From there you can select settings by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner. After clicking on the username, you will see the Edit Username button highlighted in blue.
You can then enter a new username and click Next to complete the change.
According to Snap, changing usernames is one of the most popular features. She noted that as an ephemeral app, Snapchat understands that people grow and change and may want to change their usernames.
Snapchat changes go into effect on February 23
Although this feature is long overdue. But its release was no surprise. Reverse engineering expert Alessandro Paluzzi first discovered the feature in October 2021, revealing that Snap was developing a way to change usernames.
The new announcement comes with the launch of a number of new features for the platform. He announced that it has partnered with Ticketmaster to offer a new way for users to experience live entertainment on Snap Map.
The new Ticketmatcher Mini, available in the app, links events that might interest them based on their preferences.
A few days ago, the company announced plans to offer continuous ads in Snap Stars Stories.
For a small group of US creators, this feature is still in a very early beta stage. However, the platform plans to roll it out more widely in Snap Stars in the coming months.
These ads appear in Stories as running ads, and content creators get a share of the advertising revenue. This amount is determined by a payment formula that takes into account factors such as frequency of publication and audience retention.
