[All Platforms][Social] Allow us to change our username (at least once)

Ok I hope to God that you guys don’t shoot down my idea this time, I already feel as if I have no voice  or say in anything that Spotify does. And speaking of having no voice or say, I’ve been a Spotify user for years now. And my username was always the same as my display name. However, the day I change my display name, my username was changed to a bunch of random  letters and numbers, and I have to type in my email instead. I learned quickly that Spotify doesn’t allow users to change their usernames for identification purposes, and I understand that. But I already had a username and they changed it to a bunch of random letters and numbers, so why can’t I change it? This frustrates me so much and if this suggestion gets shot down, like my last one 🙄😑😔, I’m canceling my subscription. Thank you. 😕 (also I chose community for platform bc I can’t figure out which platform label I should label this is).

WHY can't users change our own User Name?.... This company making  increased profits in each of last 5 years.  SERVICE your Customers... and pay your smaller artists 5Xs more....

HORRIBBLE NO-Customer Service.  Why cant users change our own UserName once we're verified.....  2) SPOT appears too greedy... profits increased EACH of LAST 5 yrs.... & pay the ARTISTS MUCH morel !!

Yeah I'm tired of having my real name as my Spotify account name. I don't feel comfortable sharing public playlists. Please implement this and don't strike it down cause "there wasn't enough votes"...if I read that one more time LOL

please implement this!!! this is so important for privacy as well, as ppl with the non-generated usernames could be identified online with it.

This.  I created my username a while ago, and I'm now trying to escape it.

 

It's still more desirable than a randomly generated username.

For years users are asking (Username change ) a no progress. 😗

I agree with this idea.

created my account with facebook, annoying that my user are a bunch of numbers. What if I want to share my profile? I can't remember that string.
