It's important that your Snapchat username is both something you can remember and something people will identify you with. Over time, various life events can result in your Snapchat username no longer representing who you are. Whether this is the result of a name change or you just not being the same person you were when you created your username, Snapchat makes it easy to update your username. The only caveat is that you can only change your Snapchat username once per year.

Now let's walk through the steps to change your Snapchat username using the Snapchat app on iPhone, iPad or Android devices.
Step 1. Launch the Snapchat app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Snapchat home screen.
Step 2. Tap your Snapchat profile icon at the top of the screen. Your Snapchat profile screen is displayed.
Step 3. Tap the "Settings" icon. Your Snapchat settings screen is shown.
Step 4. Tap "Username." The Username screen is displayed.
Step 5. Tap "Change Username." A message letting you know that you can only change your Snapchat username once per year pops up. Additionally, you'll be notified that even if you do change your username, no one else will be able to claim your old username. Tap "Continue." Your username will now be editable.
Step 6. Enter what you want to be your new Snapchat username. If the username you entered is not available, you'll see a red exclamation point and a note that the username is already taken. Alternatively, if the username you entered is available then you'll see a green check mark with a note that the username is free.
Step 7. Enter different usernames until you find one you want that is available, and then tap "Next." The next screen will prompt you to enter your Snapchat password. Enter your Snapchat password and then tap "Confirm." A window pops up asking if you're sure you want to change your Snapchat username.
Step 8. Tap "Confirm" to verify that you want to change your Snapchat username. A window appears letting you know that your Snapchat username has successfully been updated. The change will take effect immediately.
