I DELETED MY FACEBOOK

[Ben-Kubichek]

Hi Community,

I deleted my Facebook out of concern for some privacy issues. My Spotify was linked to that, so my username is just numbers. As far as I have found, there is no way to change my username on Spotify. Anyone else have this problem? If so, like this, so that Spotify will give us the ability to change our username!

Thanks,

Oh weird, it looks like when I submitted the question, it prompted me to update my username to have an actual name.

False alarm: It didn't allow me to change my username in Spotify, it just required that I post an actual name on the board, so I had a name when I was posting. Ugh.

Hello @Ben-Kubichek, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community!

It's not possible to change your username, but you can add a display name via your mobile app. For all the steps, make sure to check out this support article. 

If you don't see the option to change it, i'd recommend performing clean reinstall of your Spotify app. It's different than regular reinstallation.
Just find your device in this article and follow the steps provided there.

I hope it helps!
