Snapchat has just integrated an option that allows you to change your username once a year. Find out how.
If you created your Snapchat account several years ago, chances are that the username you used when you signed up no longer appeals to you or is no longer the person you are today. .
Never mind, rather than creating a new account, the platform offers a new option that allows you to change your username. Be careful though, don’t expect to be able to change it endlessly: Snapchat only allows one change per year. So be sure to choose your new username carefully, otherwise you will have to wait an additional 365 days to change it again.
