Step 1: Open the Instagram App

First, open the Instagram app on your phone. Make sure you’re logged into your account.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile

Next, tap on the small profile icon at the bottom right of your screen. This will take you to your personal profile page.

Step 3: Tap “Edit Profile”

Once you’re on your profile page, look for the “Edit Profile” button. Tap it to open the settings where you can change your information.

Step 4: Change Your Username

In the “Edit Profile” section, you’ll see a field for your username. Tap on it, delete the current name, and type in the new one you want to use. Just make sure your new username is unique and isn’t already taken by someone else.

Step 5: Save Your New Username

Once you’ve entered the new username, tap the “Done” button to save your changes. That’s it! Your new username is now live.

Note: Your old username will become available for others to use once you change it, so make sure you’re ready for the switch.
