What is how to change twitter handle?
Here's how you can change your Twitter handle (now X handle):
Changing your Twitter handle (or X handle) is a straightforward process. Your handle, also known as your @username, is how people find and interact with you on the platform. Here's how to change it:
- Access Settings: Log in to your Twitter/X account. Then navigate to the "Settings and Privacy" section. This is usually found by clicking on your profile icon and then selecting "Settings and Privacy" from the drop-down menu.
- Account Information: Within "Settings and Privacy," find the "Account" section.
- Username: Look for the "Username" option. Click on it to edit your current handle.
- Enter New Handle: Type in your desired new @username. Twitter/X will check its availability in real-time. If the handle is already taken, you'll need to choose a different one.
- Save Changes: Once you've found an available and suitable handle, click "Save" or "Done" (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on the platform version).
Important Considerations:
- Availability: Your new @username must be unique and not already in use by another user.
- Character Limit: Twitter/X usernames have a character limit (typically 15 characters).
- Impact: Changing your handle will change your profile URL, so you may need to update links you've shared elsewhere on the internet. Inform your followers about the new handle if necessary.
- Verification: If your account is verified, changing your handle may impact your verified status. You might need to re-verify your account after changing your handle. Check Twitter/X's verification policies for the most up-to-date information on this matter. To verify your account visit @verified%20status page.
