How to change your Spotify username very easily

Sweden audio streaming platform Spotify has been a preference of over 113 million users due to its sheer features. It has over 50 million songs, 450,000 podcasts, and 3 billion playlists in its repository. You can find songs of prolific singers like Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Sia, Taylor Swift, etc.

Even though Spotify has some impressive features, it lacks basic functions. For instance, there’s just one toggle for an offline mode which means that in order to download new songs, you’ll have to manually toggle the feature. Shouldn’t this be automatic? The second one is the reason why you are here.

How to change your Spotify username

Since its inception, Spotify did not allow the users to change their usernames. It was such a huge deal as people created their accounts with names that they think is weird today. But last week, the Sweden giant finally added this feature, albeit in their application. So, let’s erase the weird name right away!

Step 1: Launch Spotify (Android/iOS) app on your phone. Click on the Settings icon that looks like a gear.

Step 2: Firstly, switch the ‘Offline mode’ toggle to on as changing the username require an active internet connection.

Step 3: Now click on View Profile.

Step 4: Now click on the ‘EDIT PROFILE’ option.

Step 5: You can now see that you can easily edit your old username.

Step 6: Click on the current username and type the new username.

Step 7: With the new update, Spotify also lets you change your profile picture. To do so, click on the ‘CHANGE PHOTO’ option.

Step 8: You can choose from three options – ‘Choose photo’, ‘Take photo’, ‘Remove current photo.’
