1. Do I have to pay to change my username?
In most cases, changes should be free. However, there are rare exceptions in the case of Xbox, Sony PlayStation and Roblox, where you are charged for changes. Beyond the payment aspect, also consider that some sites limit how often you can change your username as well. Sometimes it’s as many times as you want, and in some cases, once every 30 days.
2. Will a username change impact my posts on social media?
Not at all. However, you are still responsible for informing friends and family of your new username. This is especially true for Facebook, as your page ID name changes along with your username. Instagram, on the other hand, should be visible as long as they are following you. If they are not following you, you would need to inform them of the name change. As you have seen, in many cases, it’s easy to change your username, although you’re not allowed to in a few cases. Read on to learn how to add, remove, and switch Google accounts on your Android.
