Change your username through the Geometry Dash settings menu

To change your Geometry Dash username, open the game, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom left corner, then select Settings. Scroll down until you see the Account section. Tap on your current username, type your new username into the text field, and tap Save or Confirm depending on your device.

The new username takes effect when ready in your game profile and on the leaderboards. Other players will see the updated name the next time they view your profile or encounter your scores. You do not need to restart the game for the change to show up.

If you are playing on a mobile device (iOS or Android), the steps are identical. If you are playing on PC through Steam, the process is the same — open Settings from the main menu and find the Account section to edit your username.

Key Takeaways

  • Open Geometry Dash, tap the menu icon, select Settings, then find the Account section to change your username.
  • Type your new username into the text field and tap Save or Confirm — the change takes effect when ready.
  • Your updated username appears on leaderboards and in your profile without requiring a game restart.
  • You can change your username as many times as you want, though some games limit how often you can change it in a short time period.
  • The username change works the same way on mobile devices and PC.

Where to find the Account section if Settings looks different

Geometry Dash updates occasionally, and the menu layout can shift between versions. If you open Settings and do not when ready see an Account section, look for a tab or button labeled Account, Profile, or User. On some versions, you may need to scroll down within the Settings menu to reach it.

If the Settings menu looks completely different from what you expect, check whether you have the latest version of Geometry Dash installed. Open your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, App Store for iOS, or Steam for PC) and search for Geometry Dash. If an update is available, install it and try again.

What happens to your old username and scores

When you change your username, all your existing scores, levels, and progress remain attached to your account. Your old username disappears from the leaderboards and is replaced by your new one. Players who previously saw your name on a leaderboard will see your new username if they check that same leaderboard again.

Your account ID (the number that identifies you in the game's system) does not change. This means your progress is never lost, and you maintain access to all your created levels, downloaded levels, and saved data.

Usernames you cannot use

Geometry Dash does not allow usernames that are already taken by another player. If you try to save a username that someone else is using, the game will show an error message and ask you to choose a different name. Try adding a number, underscore, or variation of your preferred name.

The game also blocks usernames that contain certain words or characters. If your chosen name is rejected without a clear reason, try removing special characters or numbers and use only letters. Usernames are typically limited to 15 to 20 characters, though this can vary by game version.

Changing your username on different devices

If you play Geometry Dash on multiple devices (phone and PC, for example), you need to change your username on each device separately. Open the game on each device, go to Settings, find the Account section, and update the username. The game will ask you to confirm the change on each device.

If your devices are linked to the same Geometry Dash account (through a login system or cloud save), changing your username on one device may sync to the others automatically. Check your account settings to see whether your devices are linked. If they are not linked, you will need to make the change manually on each one.

If the Settings menu will not open or save your new username

If you tap Settings and nothing happens, or if the game crashes when you try to save a new username, close Geometry Dash completely and reopen it. On mobile, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iOS) or tap the back button twice (Android) to fully close the app, then tap the icon to reopen it. On PC, close the game window and launch it again from Steam.

If the problem continues after restarting, try clearing the game's cache. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Geometry Dash > Storage > Clear Cache. On iOS, you may need to delete and reinstall the app. On PC through Steam, right-click Geometry Dash in your library, select Properties, go to Local Files, and click Verify Integrity of Game Files. These steps often fix menu problems without erasing your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username back to my old one?

Yes. You can change your username to any available name at any time, including a previous username you used before. Open Settings, go to Account, and type the old username into the field. If no one else has claimed that name, the change will save.

How often can I change my username?

Geometry Dash does not impose a waiting period between username changes in most versions. You can change it as many times as you want. However, if the game is not responding to your changes, wait a few minutes and try again — the server may be temporarily busy.

Will my friends still see my old username in their friends list?

No. Once you change your username, it updates everywhere in the game. Your friends will see your new username in their friends list, in messages, and on leaderboards. The change is when ready across all game systems.

What if I forgot what username I am currently using?

Open Geometry Dash and go to Settings > Account. Your current username is displayed in the text field at the top of the Account section. Write it down or take a screenshot if you want to remember it.

Can I use spaces or special characters in my username?

Most versions of Geometry Dash allow numbers, letters, and underscores in usernames, but not spaces or symbols like @, #, or !. If your chosen name is rejected, remove any special characters and try again with only letters, numbers, and underscores.
