If you like music, you’ve probably heard of Spotify. It allows you access to music from all over the world and has a clever algorithm that makes comparable recommendations based on your recently played tracks. But, there is one slight disadvantage. Despite the flexible algorithm, customers can still not modify their Spotify login. This post will go over Change Spotify Username using any of the options listed below:
- Step 1: Link Spotify to Facebook on PC and Mobile (Android and iOS)
Creating an account on Facebook (1st Time) - Step 2: Modify your Desktop and Mobile Display Names ( Android and iOS)
After Apple Music, Spotify is the second-most popular audio streaming service, with over 345 million monthly users, including 150 million premium customers, each with a unique username. By default, Spotify assigns usernames made up of letters and digits, which users can later edit. But, altering your Spotify username is not as straightforward because there are two forms of identification: your ‘Username’ and your ‘Display-Name.’
A permanent username identifies you on the Spotify app and allows you to log in. The display name, on the other hand, is the one that appears when other people browse your profile, app, and playlists. It serves as a replacement for your public profile’s username. You cannot log in to Spotify using your display name, but you can quickly alter it.
Even though a username is permanent, some solutions exist for changing it. This post will go over how to alter your Spotify login across platforms in great detail.
1: Link Spotify to the Facebook app.
When you connect your Spotify account to your Facebook account, your current username is replaced by your Facebook name. You can connect an existing Spotify account to a Facebook account or sign up for Spotify directly through Facebook. Here’s how it’s done:
Linking Existing Facebook Accounts
On the desktop
- Launch the Spotify app and navigate to the top right corner, where you’ll see a drop-down arrow next to your profile image and name.
- From the drop-down menu, choose settings.
- Connect to Facebook under the ‘Social’ setting.
- Enter your login information and click the ‘Login’ button.
- You can now Change Spotify Username to your Facebook name after you check-in.
On the go (Android and IOS)
- Start the Spotify app on your mobile and tap the “Home” button.
- Go to the upper right corner and select the settings icon.
- Click ‘Connect to Facebook’ within the Social tab.
- Enter your login information and click ‘Login.’
- Your username will be changed to your Facebook name after you check-in.
Signing in with Facebook
- Go to Spotify’s website and click the ‘Sign up’ button. A signup page will appear, with a ‘Sign up with Facebook button at the top.
- Choose the ‘Sign up with a Facebook’ option.
- Log in with the credentials from your Facebook account.
- A new account with the same name as on Facebook will be created.
- Choose “Profile” from this menu.
- Following that, your profile page is displayed, with your display name in bold at the top. Change the display name by clicking on it.
- To save the changes, enter the appropriate name and click the ‘Save’ button.
2: Modify your Display Name
When someone visits your profile or playlists, they will see your display name. Unlike the username, it is easy to alter.
On Desktop
- On your desktop, launch the Spotify app.
- Click the drop-down arrow beside your profile photo and name in the top right corner.
On Mobile (iOS and Android)
- Launch the Spotify app on your smartphone and tap the ‘Home’ icon.
- Go to the upper right corner and select the settings icon.
- Click the ‘See profile’ button in settings, which is immediately below your profile image and display name.
- Choose the ‘Edit Profile option. In the following screen, you can modify your profile picture and display name.
- Click on the display name to modify it.
- To save the changes, enter a new display name and click the ‘Save’ button in the top right corner.
If none of the previous solutions work, you can register a new Spotify account with your desired username and request a data transfer. Nevertheless, you must close your current account and cancel any subscriptions you may have.
