Snapchat being a complicated app already doesn\u2019t have the simple process of changing your username at any time you wish to. Unlike other social channels, there isn\u2019t a button to directly do it. Snapchat will make you do things in a roundabout manner, which might sound too complex for users who are not used to such processes but Snapchat somehow enjoys to tangle up things for the users.<\/p>\n

Now, the point is that how can you make it smooth and a bit painless like others? And the answer is that you need to go through this by following few steps in a systematic manner so that you do not have to face any unwanted consequence later on.<\/p>\n

Therefore, to get rid of your old username, you should follow the following points step-by-step without doubting or questioning its outcome, as it’s bound to be positive:<\/p>\n

                    1. Finally, log into your new Snapchat account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n

                        While following these steps, you can make an announcement on all your social networks so that all your current followers and friends are aware of the change of you Snapchat handle. This will make things simple for you, as soon as they will add you, you can see yourself in \u2018Added me\u2019 section\u2019 of the profile. And when this going back and forth process seems to be all sorted, you can finally get rid of your old account and delete it after collecting and updating all the data. But do remember, once the account is deleted, you won\u2019t be able to retrieve any data from it again. So, make sure you have viewed it all before deleting it as it won\u2019t be accessible anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
