Unable to Change My User ID in Apple Community

Hello Apple Community Experts


I’m trying to change my user ID for the Apple Community, but I can’t find any option to do so in my profile settings. I’ve checked under “Account Settings” and “Edit Profile,” but there doesn’t seem to be a way to update or modify the user ID.


Could someone please confirm if it’s possible to change the user ID, or if I need to contact Apple Support for assistance?


Thank you in advance for your help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0

The moderators will contact you via the email address you use to log in here, so be on the lookout if you have more than one email address.


The change policy had to be toughened years ago because a handful of malcontents were using it for "Shape-shifting" that caused turmoil in the forums. Once again, a small number of people who cannot control themselves online cost us a freedom.
