6 tips for choosing a Snapchat username

You can change a Snapchat username only once a year. These tips help you pick one you'll keep.

  1. Make it addable by voice

    Friends often add you after hearing your username said out loud. Two plain words beat clever spelling: sunnyroe gets added first try.

  2. Choose your one symbol well

    Snapchat allows one hyphen, underscore or period. A period is the easiest to say out loud, and none at all is easier still.

  3. Put the fun in your display name

    Your display name changes any time and takes spaces and emoji. Let it carry this month's joke and keep the username plain.

  4. Keep your full name out

    Your username gets passed around group chats and posted on other apps. A first name plus a word is friendly. A full name tells strangers more than they need.

  5. Pick one you'll like in a year

    You get one change every 12 months, so leave out your age, the year and this month's trend.

  6. Skip the trailing numbers

    Digits on the end say the name you wanted was taken. Swap a word or flip the order instead.

Snapchat username questions

A Snapchat username is 3 to 15 characters. It must start with a letter and end with a letter or a number. It can use Latin letters, numbers and one hyphen, underscore or period, and it can't include a phone number.

Yes, once a year: 12 months to the day after your last change. You'll find it in Settings, under My Account and then Username. Plan it, because you can't change your mind a week later.

The username is your unique handle, the one people type to add you, and you can change it once a year. The display name is what friends see in chat: up to 30 characters with spaces and emoji, and you can change it any time. Keep the username plain and put the personality in the display name.

Change a word rather than adding digits. If sunnyroe is gone, try sunnyroe.co, roesunny or sunnyrowe. They still read well out loud, which trailing numbers never do.

Something short, easy to say and easy to type after hearing it once. Friends often add you after you say your username out loud, so one that survives a noisy room is doing the real work.

Yes, with a free account. It gets 2 name searches a day, and after that a search costs credits. No card needed.
