Change Your TikTok Name or Username
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Edit the nickname under Name or the @handle under Username. Nicknames can change every 7 days; usernames every 30 days and alter the profile link.
Choose the correct field
Your nickname is the display name; the username is the @handle and part of the profile URL.
Edit the profile
Open Profile > Edit profile and select Name or Username.
Follow format and timing rules
Nicknames are limited to 30 characters; usernames use letters, numbers, underscores, and periods and cannot end in a period.
Check the new profile link
Changing the username changes the profile URL, so update links you control after saving.
