Note: There are two important points to note before changing your Instagram username.

  1. If you change your Instagram username, you will need to update any links you have that point to your Instagram profile. This could include links you have on your blog, YouTube channel, or other social media. The links to your Instagram profile will need to be updated to reflect your new Instagram username.
  2. If you change your username on Instagram, your old username will be available to anyone else that wants it. If someone else uses it, you will no longer be able to use it again.
