Steps to follow:

one

There are several things you should keep in mind before changing your username on Facebook to do it correctly and not get distracted. The first thing you should know is that when you speak of a user name, it refers to the URL of your profile, the personalized and unique address that makes that profile correspond exclusively to you and not to another user, for example www.facebook. com/

On the other hand, when we speak of a name we refer to the name that you use in your Facebook profile and by which your contacts recognize you. In any case, the procedure to change both is the same.

Two other aspects that you should consider before making these changes are:

The username can only be changed once and must be a real and authentic name, since Facebook does not accept false profiles.
The name on the other hand can be changed several times but once you make the change you must wait 60 days to modify it again, so think carefully about the name you will choose. You should also know that Facebook only allows you to change the name a limited number of times so do not abuse.
The name you choose must be real and belong to a person, Facebook does not accept false names or companies or professionals in personal profiles. If you want to create a professional Facebook page then see our article how to create a Facebook page.

Choose then what you want to modify, if the name or user name, and press "Edit" .

In the case of changing your name you can modify it by adding even a second name or your nickname. Remember that once you save the changes you will not be able to make another modification in 60 days. If you choose to change the username, think about it because you will only be able to do it once, when saving changes there will be no going back.
