Flipboard: Change username - how it works
In Flipboard you get a user name by default, which you can change later. We'll show you how it works.
Change username in flipboard
A user name configured by the system usually contains numbers and letters that not every user likes to see. How to change your flipboard name afterwards:
- Scroll down in the flipboard app and tap on the small gear on the right at the bottom of the display.
- In the settings menu, select "Edit profile" at the top.
- You can now enter a new name in the "User name" field. The system checks directly whether the name already exists.
- Once you've found an available name, tap "Save" in the top right corner.
- The normal name can be changed in the same way. If you logged in to Flipboard with your Google Plus profile, it was automatically taken over from your profile.
If you would like to completely delete your flipboard account, another practical tip shows you which steps you need to take.
