In this article, we will show you how to change your Twitter username from mobile and desktop. We will see how to do it on Android.
The processes for changing a user's username and display name (also known as their Twitter handle) on Twitter are relatively straightforward.
Remember that once you change your Twitter handle (username), your previous handle becomes accessible to others, and any tweets referencing it do not redirect.
Additionally, users who click on your previous username or handle won't be redirected. You may modify your username/Twitter Handle and your display name on Twitter for all supported platforms by following the step-by-step instructions below.

How to Change Your Twitter Username on PC
Changing your username/Twitter handle is the same across platforms whether you use a computer to access Twitter, whether it's a desktop PC or a laptop.
The directions are the same since Twitter is independent of the operating system that your computer is running. The @ sign is always used to begin a Twitter account. In contrast to the Twitter display name stated later, this is the username that Twitter uses to identify you specifically.
Do the following to modify your Twitter handle or username:
1. Open your Twitter account and log in.
2. Select More from the menu on the left.
3. Pick Settings and privacy from the menu that appears.
4. Select Your Account from the Settings menu.
5. In the list of options on the right, select Account Information.
6. At this point, you might be asked to enter your password. Click on OK after doing so.
7. Select Username from the option on the right.
8. Enter the name you want to use in the username text box. Twitter will verify if the name is available automatically. If so, go ahead.
9. Click Save in the bottom right corner of the screen when you're finished.
You should now see a new username.
