Step 1: Open the Facebook App
The first thing you need to do is open the Facebook app on your mobile device. Look for the Facebook icon on your home screen or in your app drawer and tap on it to launch the app.
Step 2: Access Your Account Settings
Once the app is open, locate the menu icon – typically three horizontal lines – either at the top, bottom, or side of your screen, depending on your device. Tap on it to open the menu, and then scroll down and tap on “Settings & Privacy” to expand the options.
- In the expanded menu, tap on “Settings” to access your Facebook account settings.
Step 3: Change Your Name
After you’ve accessed your account settings, scroll down until you find the “Personal Information” section. Within this section, tap on “Name.”
- You will now see your current Facebook name displayed, along with an “Edit” button located on the right side. Tap on the “Edit” button.
Step 4: Enter Your New Name
A pop-up window will appear, asking you to enter your new name. Type in your desired name using the keyboard on your mobile device.
- Please note that Facebook has certain guidelines when it comes to changing your name. Make sure you follow their policies to avoid any problems or restrictions.
Step 5: Save Your Changes
After entering your new name, review it to ensure everything is correct. Once you are satisfied, tap on the “Review Change” button.
- Facebook will then display the changes you’ve made and their impact. Make sure to read them carefully before proceeding.
- If everything looks good, tap on the “Save Changes” button to update your Facebook name.
Step 6: Verify Your Identity
Facebook may ask you to confirm your identity before applying the name change. This is usually done by providing a photo ID, such as a passport or driver’s license, to ensure the authenticity of the account.
- Follow the instructions provided by Facebook to verify your identity, if prompted.
Step 7: Enjoy Your New Facebook Name
Congratulations! You have successfully changed your Facebook name on your mobile device. Your new name will now be displayed on your profile and to your friends on Facebook.
Remember, changing your Facebook name too frequently may result in temporary restrictions on making further name changes. So, make sure you are happy with your new name before going through the process. Happy Facebooking!
