Changing your Discord nickname is easy, and you can do it on both desktop and mobile versions of the app. Your nickname is specific to each server you’re a member of, so changing it on one server will not affect your nickname on other servers.
Here’s how to change your Discord nickname on desktop and mobile devices:
Desktop:
- Open the Discord app or visit discord.com and log in to your account.
- Select the server in which you want to change your nickname from the left sidebar.
- In the server, click the server name at the top left corner, then select “Change Nickname” from the dropdown menu.
- Enter your new nickname in the popup box and click “Save.”
Mobile:
- Open the Discord app on your mobile device and log in to your account.
- Select the server in which you want to change your nickname from the left sidebar.
- Tap the three horizontal lines icon at the top left corner to open the server menu.
- Tap on your current username, located right above the list of channels.
- Select “Change Nickname” from the dropdown menu.
- Enter your new nickname and tap “Save” or “Done.”
Remember that some servers may have restrictions on changing nicknames or may require specific permissions to do so. If you don’t see the option to change your nickname or if you’re unable to save your new nickname, it’s possible that the server administrator has disabled this feature or limited it to users with certain roles. In this case, you may need to reach out to a server administrator or moderator for assistance.
