Many of you are using Instagram, sharing your photos, videos, creating and posting short and long videos. But the main thing is that all your posts and shared stuff can be found by anyone using your username. So it is very important that your profile username should be nice and short so that anyone can easily find it.
Luckily, in this article, we will show you how to change your username on Instagram. But before we start, understand that your display name and username are two different specialties. You can change your display name as often as you like. This is basically the name you see on Instagram or your business name. Usernames, on the other hand, are something else entirely.

Your username is how people find you on Instagram and is unique to you. This is what you see after finding or tagging you using the ‘@’ symbol. It will also be added to the end of your Instagram URL, which is also unique to you.
Therefore, if your username is taken, you cannot claim it, that must be unique – so be careful with your choice. Another thing to note is that if you change your username, you cannot go back to your previous username for 14 days. Follow the instruction given below to change your Instagram username from your smartphone.
How to change your Instagram username from your smartphone?
First, open the Instagram app.
Once you do that, tap on your profile picture in the bottom-right corner.
Once our profile opens, you’ll see the ‘Edit Profile’ button towards the top.
In the ‘Edit Profile‘ setting, there will be a ‘Username‘ field, where your current username is located. If you want to change it, tap on it.
A new screen will open, and all attention will be on your username, while your keyboard will also be visible.
Enter the new username, and if Instagram tells you it’s not taken, tap the ‘Check‘ icon in the top-right corner.
And that’s it, you’ve changed your username from the Instagram app.
