[All Platforms][Other] Change profile URL of old accounts

I really appreciate Spotify allowing you to change your display name.

I get that the username is used as ID, so this is a good solution if it weren't for one thing: The URL of your profile.

 

If you created an account before your username started being random letters and numbers, it will continue to show your username.

So if you were to change your display name to be something else, whatever you named yourself might show up on playlists and what not, but the old username will continue to follow you in the URL.

And I get you can't simply change the URLs to be the same as the display name, since from what I've seen, you can have identical display names, and that would get messy.

 

So I think it would only be fair that if on request, your URL can be changed to something else.

Maybe put a limit on it, so it can't be done frequently.

I think that would just be great for everyone who feels like completely getting rid of old names they're embarrassed of and what not.

**bleep**, I would be fine even if the URL just followed the same random number and letter formula.

Just give us the option to do it at least.

It would just be helpful and make the whole name changing thing as good as it can be.

Spotify should allow users to customize our usernames to something that is both personal to us, and easy to memorize

It would be really cool to give users this power to be able to make more use of their Spotify profile. Being able to change their username to be found more easily on mobile devices, being able to see what their friends are listening to, just like in the web and PC versions.

Right now my username is a serious of letters and numbers, that makes zero sense. I can change the username for this forum, but that's ineffective. I would love to see an option to change our usernames on the app.

The unique code (name) in our account's shared link can be customized.

This is the biggest issue for me with spotify!

Basically, I was doxxed once and my username on Spotify is one of those usernames. And I'm constantly paranoid. And I do not want to have to create another account just to feel safe.

This should be a simply safety feature, and not hard to implement!

it'd be super cool to be able to customise our accounts more and make our logins far more memorable! it'd be awesome to be able to express themselves far more

You should be able to create a custom username while creating an account, like how it was orignally. This random number garbage is cold and makes it feel like this entire app is ran by AI- *yes we noticed wrapped guys*
