How To Change Your Spotify Username
Your Spotify username is unique and, therefore, cannot be changed. You can only change your display name which is what will be shown on your profile and playlists. The only way to ‘change’ your username is to cancel your account and create a new one.
Spotify does not allow the option to change your username, only your display name. Your display name is the name that appears on your profile and playlists. Despite all this, the process to change your display name is a very straightforward one and can be done within a minute.
