The most downloaded and used filter app called Snapchat, has a ton of filter possibilities and a ton of options in its repertoire. An example of these options can be seen in uploading images from the cell phone gallery, to the application to also apply a filter to them. But what stands out the most is having a username to post those photos on the same platform.

The username, is what differentiates us of the other users of the application. But have you ever wondered how I can change my Snapchat username? Here we will be touching on this and other points so that you have the knowledge to know if you can or cannot change the username.

What is the difference between your profile name and username on Snapchat?

On the Snapchat platform, apart from having options such as switching to a private account, you have the possibility to see which one is your username and your profile name. But to be clear about something, these two slogans are different, but it maintains the same similarity that through either of them, anyone can search for you on the Snapchat platform.

between these two, the difference there is is that the username is the one you choose when you create your account on the Snapchat platform and that it cannot be modified for reasons of personal security that the application has. On the other hand, the name that we have in the profile can be changed as many times as we want and whenever we want.
