Whether you regret your teenage-fueled weird Instagram username or your cool startup pivoted and changed its name completely (warranting a new Instagram username of course – that’s until your next pivot comes along) then here are a few super simple steps to change your Instagram Username, the one which people partly use to find you and the one which they need to use to tag you in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the steps (identical for phones and web browsers)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Go to Instagram’s main page or to the application, click on your profile (bottom right corner in the app and in the top right on the web).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. After clicking here, click further on “Edit Profile” which will be next to your display picture. If you scroll down a bit the page will look like this. The top part should start with “Edit Profile” and this is the tab you need to be in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Here you can change your display picture, name, username and so on! Whatever your heart desires to change about your account is now there – unless someone else has the same username, then you can’t really do much unless you really really want it.\u00a0 We’ll show you how to do that in another post.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here is a visual guide that you can follow along with the written description above.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The edit profile option will take you to a page where you can modify most of your displayed personal information. Click on the username to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n

    You are now in the section where you can edit your username. If you choose a username that is already taken, the app will say it is unavailable. Eventually, when there is a unique username that you can pick, it will not display any messages. You can now verify it with the checkmark button above.<\/p>\n\n\n
