how to change tiktok username

To change the TikTok username in 2025, follow these steps:

1. Open the TikTok app and go to your profile by tapping the profile icon at the bottom right.
2. Tap "Edit profile."
3. Tap the "Username" field.
4. Enter the new username you want. TikTok will check if the username is available. If it's taken, try variations like adding numbers or underscores.
5. When the username is available and you are satisfied, tap "Save" at the top right to confirm.

Important notes:

• You can only change your TikTok username once every 30 days.
• Changing your username will update your profile link.
• Usernames can include letters, numbers, underscores, and periods, but cannot end with a period.
• If the username change doesn't take effect immediately, try restarting the app.

This process is similar whether you use the TikTok mobile app or the website via a browser.
