How do I change my Apple Community name (nickname) ?

A member of the community management team reaches out to you, you provide a short list of desired usernames and the one that’s available is then yours.

Well, if you still have that email, then reply back with more names that you would prefer.

⇡ You look familiar. 😉

Anyhow, I had submitted your request. ✅

Next step: Keep an eye on your inbox 📥 for instructions.

I will follow up with everyone this week.

Stay tuned! 👋🏼😉

There are various reasons.

I am not at liberty to discuss how management decides because that is not of concern to any of us.

If you look at my username as a reference, you’ll notice that I picked a friendly name; "Smilin". 😎

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Same for me please.

Okay, done. ✅

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Could you please submit a request for me as well? I got this username randomly assigned back when Apple Community first opened. Thank you!

So, how do user name chances work? I got an email, sent in my choices, and just ended up with a random name anyway.

Why can’t users change their own names?
