Changing an online username is something that everyone does at some point. If you're a Spotify user, you have the option to change your username, too. It's easy to do and we'll show you how it's done.

To be specific, Spotify allows you to change your "display name." This is what appears on your profile and playlists. You technically can't change your "username," but for all intents and purposes, changing your display name is enough.
