Bonus: the difference between “username” and “display name”

username on Twitter will always begin with an “@” symbol. It’s unique, and it’s what you use to log into your account. It’s also what people use when they want to search for your account.

A display name, however, is just how someone identifies themselves on the network. You’re able to change it whenever you like by simply going to “Profile” and clicking “Edit profile.”
