Are you looking to change your username on Spotify that you don’t like, and would like to change it to something friendly and easy to remember? Well, there is no direct method to change the randomly created Spotify username in your account. However, there are other ways to do it. In this guide, you will find out whether you can change your Spotify username in detail below.
How to Change Spotify Username (2023)
Usually, Spotify gives you two types of names: Display name and Username. The display name is the one displayed to other users or your friends. Even when you open your profile, you see the display name and not the username. But the username is the one that uniquely identifies you among other users. That’s why Spotify never lets you choose a username as you want because it must be the name that no one has.
Display names are not unique, and you can change them as you wish. Two or more people can have the same display name. Below are some of the methods to change usernames on Spotify.

In case you do not like your username, you can connect your social account to Facebook to change the name. The Facebook username will replace your Spotify username. Follow the steps below to log into your Facebook account.
- First of all, you need to open the Spotify app you have installed on your PC or Android.
