People can't find me using my name

People can't find me using my name

I know that account names cannot be changed. My account name is '1134267667' which none of my friends can search for. 

 

Is there any way I can have my account be discoverable by my name, so people can search for me, and hopefully find me without having to type in that ugly number?

I heard that if you attach your facebook account (if you have one) to your account people can see your name on your account over the numbers. I am not sure if they can look you up by name that way or what else would happen by connecting facebook. But it might be worth trying! Hopefully if this doesn't help someone else has a way to help you out!

Its more difficult to find your name when you dont have many followers. Users can look up your profile by entering spotify:user:YOURUSERNAME into their Search bar in the Spotify app.

I did that, attached spotify to my facebook account, let it access whatever it wanted, and still no, people cannot find me by my name (Pedro G. Dias)

I tried searching for

 

spotify:users:Pedro G. Dias

spotify:users:'Pedro G. Dias'

spotify:users:"Pedro G. Dias"

 

No match in any of the above. 

Also, wanted to add that I have more followers than my sister (who I am following) and she appears instantly when I search her name. 

 

Is this a table that is updated i.e. once a month or something?
