Hello, I have a 1 problem.

I don’t understand why my username in “Music” does not change, while in the Apple ID itself I already have a different one ..

Hello sofa143,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.


To do this, open the Music app on your iPhone, tap on Listen Now in the bottom left corner, tap your profile circle in the upper right of the Listen Now screen, tap on View Profile at the top, tap the Edit option on the next screen, then tap on Name and/or Username to change the Name and/or Username and edit as you need to. Then tap Done when you have made the changes you need to.


See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device - Apple Support


Cheers!

Hi sofa143,


Are you an Apple Music subscriber? You can verify at Settings > Tap your name > Subscriptions > Would be listed under "Active".


Also, was your device previously used with a different Apple ID? If so, then that is why you are seeing another name for the previously purchased music. Your device may also be Activation Locked, if the previous owner didn't follow these directions before you received the device: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Take care!

sofa143,


On the page you shared a screenshot of, when selecting Account Settings is your Apple ID listed on the page? If so, check your account changes setting is enabled in your Content & Privacy Restrictions. The article here will assist: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If the issue continues, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.
