How to change the username on Twitter without losing followers

Maybe you have ever thought about changing your name on Twitter because the one you have is very old, belongs to a company that you no longer work for, or simply because you feel like it; But you have thrown back the fact of not being able to transfer your contacts from one account to another. If this is your case, keep reading, because in .com we will explain how to change the username on Twitter without losing the followers .

one

First of all, it is important that you understand what it means to change your Twitter user name, and that even though the change does not mean that you automatically lose your followers, but all those people who followed you will not be able to find you if they look for you with your initial username.

So, you should start by replacing your current name with the one you want from now on; So, you must access the parameters of Twitter through your profile photo that will appear in the upper right. Next, click on Settings .

Next, in the field ' Username ' you will see the one you used so far -in my case, @ Angels_SR- you will have to write the one you want to be your new name; Assuming for example that we now want to use: @ Angels1234. Remember that all this procedure you are doing in the account that you already had created from Twitter.

It is possible that the name you want to choose is already assigned to another user, so you will have to try to find one that does not exist or use the suggestions that Twitter offers.

At this point, you will have made the name change in your Twitter account, however we recommend that you create a new one that redirects your followers to the new username, so that they can continue to meet you. For this, you will have to close your Twitter session in order to create a new Twitter user account. Next, you must go to the home page of the microblogging network: www.twitter.com and start the registration process.

To register you must use your original Twitter user name - @ Angels_SR-, since it is now released because you have previously made the name change of your account.

This new account with the old name will serve to redirect your followers to the account with a new name, so you must write a tweet which is the username you currently use.

In other words: if someone is already following you and looking for you by your old name, you will reach the account without followers and you will find a tweet that will send you to your account with the new username. In this way, you will have managed to change the username successfully, and you will continue to keep your followers.
