How to Change Your Name in MeWe

MeWe is growing in popularity as a social media platform with absolutely no ads and no product placement. Just like with other social media apps, MeWe allows you to change your name. However, since there are no usernames on MeWe, you can only change your first and last name. Given that the option to change your name is hidden somewhere in the settings, it might be challenging to find it if you’re new to MeWe.

In this guide, we’ll go through the process of changing your first and last name in MeWe on a PC and on the mobile app.

How to Change Your Name in MeWe on a PC

MeWe is marketed as the next-generation social network, and it has become the preferred social media app for those who no longer want to use Facebook. You can post content on your feed, message your friends, video chat with others, create groups, and even make disappearing content (like Instagram Stories). It’s available on all desktops and tablets, as well as on iOS and Android devices.

When you first create your MeWe account, you are required to enter your first name, last name, and email address. That will be the name you will use on MeWe, as there are no usernames on this social media platform. There could be many reasons why you might want to change your name on MeWe. Perhaps you got married and changed your last name, or you simply wish to use a different name to protect your online privacy.

Many social media apps make it difficult for you to change your username by hiding that option somewhere in the settings. Some platforms don’t even allow you to change your personal information. When it comes to MeWe, you might not be able to find this option if you’re new to this app. However, once you figure out where it is, it will only take you a few seconds to change your name.
