\"Reddit<\/p>\n

To change your Reddit username, click or tap your user icon in the Reddit menu bar, then select “Change Username” in your profile settings. You’ll only have this option if you created your account using the “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Apple” option less than 30 days ago.<\/p>\n

Want to go by a different username on Reddit? While Reddit limits when you can change your username, there are specific instances where it\u2019s possible. We\u2019ll explore your available options.<\/p>\n

Can You Change Your Reddit Username?<\/h2>\n

Is changing your username possible on Reddit even possible? Maybe, depending on how you set up your account and how long it\u2019s existed.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve created your Reddit account using an email address, you can\u2019t change your username. Your current username is forever attached to your account. If you must use a new username, though, you can always\u00a0delete your existing Reddit account<\/a> and create a new one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you\u2019ve made your Reddit account using the \u201cSign in with Google<\/a>\u201d or \u201cSign in with Apple<\/a>\u201d option, Reddit will allow you to change your username. However, you can only do this once, and only within the first 30 days of creating your account. If you\u2019re still within that range, follow the steps below to change your username.<\/p>\n

How to Change Your Username on Reddit<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve used the Google or Apple sign-in option to create your Reddit account, you can follow a few easy steps on your Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, or Android device to modify your username.<\/p>\n
