If you've realized that the name you chose for your Linktree no longer suits you, or you simply want to refresh your personal brand, don't worry, because changing your identifier is entirely possible and not rocket science. The first thing to understand is that your profile title is not the same as your username; while the title is the decorative text everyone sees at the top, the username defines the final URL of your link.
Changing the title is a piece of cake and doesn't affect the link, but if you want your web address to look more professional or simpler, you'll need to adjust the username . Fortunately, you can do this easily, whether you're comfortably using your computer or prefer to quickly fix it with your mobile browser.
Detailed steps to renew your username
To begin the change, the first step is to go to the official Linktree website and log in with your email and password . Once logged in, you'll find the control panel where you manage your links and the appearance of your page. If you manage multiple accounts, make sure you've selected the correct profile to avoid making the change in the wrong account.
To access the settings, look at the left sidebar and click on your profile picture . When the menu appears, find and select the option called "Account" (or "Cuenta " depending on whether your interface is in Spanish or English).
Once you're in the account management section, scroll down to find the Account management section . There you'll see your current identifier; right next to it, you'll find a button with three dots , which is where the magic happens. Click on it and choose the Change username option.
Validation and final considerations
A pop-up window will open where you can type in the new username you have in mind. Keep in mind that the username must be available , because if another user has already taken it, Linktree will notify you and you'll have to find a creative alternative . When you find an available username, click on "Review username change" and, after reviewing it, click " Confirm change" to activate it.
Pay attention to this crucial detail: Linktree has a security restriction and only allows you to change your username once every 7 days . So think twice and make sure the name is final to avoid being locked out for a whole week. Finally, don't forget to update the link on your social media , such as your Instagram profile or email signatures, to prevent your followers from ending up on an error page.
To clarify everything, simply log into the administration panel, go to account settings, and modify the identifier in account management. Remember that the URL will change automatically , and you have a one-week time limit between changes, so it's vital to update all your external links immediately after the process.
