Do you want to change how other users see you on Spotify?

With that in mind, we have here a guide for you. We'll show you how to edit your display name on Spotify. Whether you're using the web, desktop, or mobile app, we got you covered.

Tutorial

Spotify isn't just a streaming app where you can listen to music anytime you want. It is also a platform where you can share and show the music you like to other users. You can also check other people's profiles to see their playlists, artists they follow, and other stuff.

As such, other users can view and visit your profile as well. So if you want to change how other people see you on Spotify, you can change your display name.

With that in mind, we have here a guide to help you edit your name on the Spotify web, desktop, or mobile app. Without further ado, let's get started.

How to change your Spotify display name

If you connected your Facebook to Spotify, the app shows your account's name by default. If you don't want to use that as your display name, you can choose to change it to another one you prefer.

You can change your display name on Spotify, whether you're using Spotify on your computer or mobile device. In our tutorials below, we'll show you how to do it from both.

On your computer:

Open the Spotify web player or desktop app and sign in to your account.
Click your profile icon on the upper-right corner of the screen and select Profile on the menu.
Click your current display name to change it.
Enter your new name to replace your old one and click Save to apply the changes.

Your display name on Spotify is how you'll appear on the app. You can use your first name, nickname, or any other name you want.

You can update your Spotify account's display name anytime you want without any restrictions. So if you suddenly change your mind, you can always edit your profile and revert to your old name.

On the mobile app:

After signing in to the mobile app, tap the gear icon on the upper-right to open your Settings.
At the top of the page, select View Profile.
Tap Edit Profile.
Replace your current name with a new one, and tap Save at the upper-right corner to apply the changes.

That's how you change your display name on Spotify. If you connected your account to Facebook, other users will see this in your profile instead of your real one.

Please note that your display name is different from your username. While the former is the name displayed on your profile, the latter helps the app in identifying your account.

To wrap it all up

Now that you know how to edit your display name on Spotify, you can now change it anytime you want. You can use your first name, nickname, or any other one that you prefer.
