To change your YouTube username on an Android device, follow these steps:
1. Start by opening the YouTube app on your Android smartphone or tablet. Look for the red play button icon with a white triangle in the center.
2. Once the app is open, tap on your channel icon located in the top right corner of the screen. It’s usually a circular image representing your profile picture or initials.
3. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a small gear icon representing the settings. Tap on it to access your account settings.
4. Within the settings menu, you should see your current username listed beside your profile picture. Tap on the “Edit” button next to your name.
5. A text field will appear, allowing you to enter the new username you desire. Type in the new name you want to use for your YouTube channel.
6. After entering the desired username, tap on the “OK” or “Save” button to confirm the changes. YouTube will then check the availability of the new name and, if it’s available, update your username accordingly.
It’s important to note that changing your username on YouTube will also change it across all other Google services linked to your account. This includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, etc. So, make sure you consider this before making any changes.
Additionally, keep in mind that YouTube may have certain restrictions or guidelines for usernames, so make sure your new name complies with their policies.
