However, there is no limitation on the Twitter handle or username.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read this article to discover<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/change-your-twitter-handle-or-username\/#change_your_twitter_handle_or_username\" data-schema-attribute=\"\"><b><i> how to change your Twitter handle or username<\/i><\/b><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Where to find your Twitter handle or username?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name connected with your Twitter account is known as your Twitter handle. Its purpose is to find your Twitter account, tag you in posts, and send you direct messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, to find your Twitter handle, log into your Twitter account and open your profile page. Your handle is the name that starts with the <\/span><b>@ sign<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, just below your profile picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10090\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10090\" class=\"wp-image-10090 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Your-Twitter-handle-starts-with-the-sign.jpg\" alt=\"Your Twitter handle starts with the @ sign, and the username is above it\u00a0\" width=\"800\" height=\"444\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-10090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Your Twitter handle starts with the @ sign, and the username is above it<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, your username is another aspect of your account that you might want to change. You can see that name right on your Twitter handle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between your Twitter handle and username is that your username may be similar to other Twitter users. Your handle is unique to your Twitter account. Unlike your handle, your Twitter username can be up to 50 characters long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why should you change your Twitter handle or username?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can change your Twitter handle and username as much as you like. But why should you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first reason is that you may not feel like your username is right for you anymore. If you&#8217;ve owned the same Twitter account for years, you might want to change your username to something more appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second reason is that if you want to leave Twitter, you should change your Twitter handle before deleting your account. It is because you&#8217;ll probably want to use the same Twitter handle when you open a new account on this platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10086\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10086\" class=\"wp-image-10086 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/There-is-no-limit-to-changing-your-Twitter-handle-or-username.jpg\" alt=\"There is no limit to changing your Twitter handle or username\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-10086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There is no limit to changing your Twitter handle or username<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Twitter will delete your username and email when you delete your account, making it impossible for you to use them again in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you can keep your original Twitter username for future use by changing it before you delete your account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, your Twitter account, including your followers, messages, and replies, won&#8217;t be affected if you change your username or handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the updated user information will appear on your profile page under your profile picture when you change your Twitter handle or username.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to change your Twitter username\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your account settings, you can change your username whenever you like.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While your Twitter handle should be unique, it doesn&#8217;t have to be a version of your name. It can be anything you like, from a nickname you got at school to a random set of numbers and characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An important thing to remember here is that if you have a verified account on Twitter, changing your Twitter handle can make you lose your verification badge, and you will have to go through the verification process again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What if your Twitter handle is taken?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the Twitter handle you want is already being used by someone else? Here are several options for you:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your company has a trademark, you can submit a complaint with Twitter by selecting the <\/span><b>&#8220;Report&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button and reporting that account to Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you can contact Twitter if your preferred handle is being owned by an inactive user. You can copy or screenshot any tweet from a fake account to show that they have used your name or company without permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that buying and selling Twitter handles is against Twitter&#8217;s rules. It will lead to the removal of your account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know <\/span><b>how to change your Twitter handle or username<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your mobile phone and desktop with just a simple step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, changing the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">Twitter<\/a> handle can also make your personal brand more recognizable on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you&#8217;ve changed your Twitter handle or username before, let us know what the reason was.
