Have you noticed that your Linktree profile name no longer matches your brand, or perhaps you simply misspelled it? Don't worry, changing your account identifier is a straightforward process that you can easily complete in just a couple of minutes.
Before we dive into the process, it's crucial that we don't confuse concepts. The title that appears at the top of your page is not the same as your username; the former is editable text that serves as an introduction, while the latter is the unique identifier that makes up your URL and is what we actually want to change today.
Steps to renew your username on Linktree
You can make this adjustment whether you're comfortably seated at your computer or using your mobile device. The first thing you need to do is go to the official Linktree website and log in with your usual email and password.
Once you're logged in, you'll find the management panel where you control your links and the appearance of your page. If you manage multiple accounts, make sure you 've selected the correct profile before proceeding, to avoid accidentally changing the name of the wrong account.
The next step is simple: go to the left sidebar and click on your profile picture . A drop-down menu will open where you should look for the section called "Account" (or "Cuenta" if your interface is in English).
Setting up the new identifier
Once in the account section, scroll down to find the "Account management" area . There you will see your current username; right next to it you will find a three-dot icon which is the key to unlocking the editing options.
By tapping those points, select the "Change username " option. A pop-up window will then appear where you can type in your new username.
Here's the crucial point: the username must be available. You can't use one that already belongs to another user. To check, click on "Review username change" . If Linktree tells you it's taken, you'll have to use your imagination and try an alternative until the system lets you click "Confirm change".
Important details to keep in mind
There are a couple of things you shouldn't forget to avoid any surprises. First, keep in mind that you can only change your name once every 7 days . Think carefully before confirming, because if you change your mind five minutes later, you'll have to wait a whole week to correct it.
Also, remember that when you change your identifier, the old URL will stop working. This means you need to update the link in your Instagram bio , TikTok bio, or anywhere else you've posted it, because if you don't, your followers will land on a 404 error page.
Knowing that the process is done through account management, that the name must be unique, and that there is a one-week time restriction between changes, all that remains is to update your social media so that everyone can easily find your new address.
