  1. Go to Instagram and sign in.
  2. On the top right corner of the screen, click on “Your Account” (it looks like a gear).
  3. Under “Your Profile,” click on “Settings” (it looks like three lines).
  4. Under “Profile Picture,” click on the drop-down menu and select “Request New Username.”
  5. Enter your desired username in the text box and hit “Submit Request.” Instagram will send you an email notification with your new username! ..
