There are two ways to change your nickname on Snapchat. Here we show you the fastest way to get there:

2. Once on your personal page, press your current name and hold it down for a few seconds.
3. A small window will then open. It is titled " Edit name ". Touch the box that displays your nickname. The numeric keypad will appear, allowing you to change or delete your name.
4. When you have entered your new nickname, press " Save ". It's done, your name has been changed!
The second way to change your nickname is from the settings menu. You can access it from your personal page and its symbol is a gear. Simply select your name in the " My Account (located at the top of the settings page) and modify it, again using the numeric keypad, before saving it.
