How to change your Facebook Page username

By HeyMark · Updated

If you want your Facebook Page link to use a different @, the setting you need is its username. I’ll guide you from the Page switcher to saving the change, and distinguish this field from the Page’s display name and action button.

Before you start, sign in to Facebook on a computer and make sure you have Facebook access to the Page. Meta says task access does not let you change the username. The username is also used in the address facebook.com/username. Read Facebook’s help on a Page username and web address.

Change your Page username

  1. Click your profile picture in the top right, then choose See all profiles.
  2. Select the Page you want to edit.
  3. Click your Page’s profile picture in the top right.
  4. Open Settings & Privacy, then click Settings.
  5. Go to Page setup and click Name.
  6. Under General Page Settings, click Edit next to Username.
  7. Update the username and click Save changes.

After saving, check the username in the same section. Open facebook.com/ followed by the @ you chose and confirm that it leads to your Page. If you meant to change the button that prompts visitors to take an action, see how to change your Facebook Page action button.

If someone else needs to manage the Page, see how to give or remove access to your Facebook Page. Managing those permissions requires Facebook access with full control.

To update the name people see, see how to request a Facebook Page name change. You request that change separately from the username.
