Kik Messenger: change username

Unfortunately, you cannot change your user name with "Kik Messenger", but you can change your display name. You can find out how to do this in this practical tip.

Change the display name in Kik Messenger

The only way to get a new username is to create a new account. Instead, change the name displayed:

1. Open the "Kik Messenger"
2. Go to your settings (gear) and tap on "Your user account".
3. At the top you will see your unchangeable username. Below you will find "Name". This is the nickname your friends see. Tap it once to change it.

You can also change your profile picture to match your display name.
