Your names on TikTok
There are two types of names on TikTok: Your username and your nickname. A username is the @handle other TikTok users can use to find your profile or tag you in videos. A nickname is an alias visible at the top of your profile so others know what to call you.
While a username must be unique to one TikTok account, users can share the same nickname. Fortunately, you can change both, and the steps are the same no matter which device you’re using.
How to change your TikTok username
Tap Profile from the bottom right corner, then tap Edit Profile from your account page.
