Where to find the username setting in Bloons TD 6

Your username in Bloons TD 6 appears on leaderboards and in multiplayer matches. To change it, open the game and tap the settings icon — usually a gear symbol in the main menu or top corner of the screen. Look for a section labeled "Account," "Profile," or "Settings." The exact location depends on whether you play on mobile (iOS or Android) or desktop (Windows, Mac, or Steam).

On mobile, the settings gear is typically in the bottom right or top left of the main menu. On Steam or desktop versions, check the top menu bar or pause menu during gameplay. Once you find settings, scroll until you see your current username displayed. Next to it should be an "Edit" button or pencil icon.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username setting is in the Account or Profile section of the game's settings menu, accessed from the main screen.
  • You can change your username directly in the game without needing to contact support or restart the process.
  • The new username takes effect when ready and appears on leaderboards and in multiplayer games right away.
  • If you play on multiple platforms (mobile and Steam, for example), each platform has its own separate username that you must change individually.

Steps to change your username

Tap or click the "Edit" button next to your current username. A text field will appear where you can delete the old name and type a new one. Type the username you want — most games allow letters, numbers, and some special characters, though spaces are often not permitted. Check the character limit shown on screen; Bloons TD 6 typically allows usernames up to 16 characters.

Once you have typed the new name, look for a "Save," "Confirm," or checkmark button. Tap or click it to save the change. The game will process the update, and your new username should appear when ready in the main menu and on any leaderboards you are on. If the game shows an error message, the username may already be taken or contain forbidden characters — try a different name and save again.

What happens after you change your username

Your new username appears on leaderboards within a few minutes, replacing your old one. In multiplayer matches, other players will see your new name when you join a game. Your old scores and progress remain attached to your account — changing the username does not reset your game or erase any unlocked towers, maps, or difficulty completions.

If you play Bloons TD 6 on more than one platform (for example, on both your phone and on Steam), each platform stores a separate username. Changing your name on mobile does not change it on Steam, and vice versa. You must go into settings on each platform individually to update the username everywhere you play.

If the username change does not save

Close the game completely and reopen it. Sometimes the settings menu does not refresh properly. Once you restart, check the main menu to confirm your new username appears. If it still shows the old name, try changing it again using the same steps.

If you see an error message saying the username is unavailable or invalid, the name you chose may contain characters the game does not allow, or another player may have already taken it. Try a different username — adding numbers or underscores often helps. If the game continues to reject your input, restart the process and try once more.

Usernames across different platforms

Bloons TD 6 runs on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Steam. Each platform maintains its own account and username setting. If you own the game on multiple platforms, you can have a different username on each one, or you can keep them the same by manually changing each one to match.

Your progress and unlocked content do not carry between platforms — a tower you unlock on mobile stays on mobile, and a map you beat on Steam stays on Steam. Because of this, your username on each platform is independent. There is no way to sync or link usernames across platforms from within the game settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username back to what it was before?

Yes. Go back into settings, find the username field, and type your old name. As long as no one else has taken that name in the meantime, you can use it again. The change takes effect when ready.

Will changing my username affect my saved games or progress?

No. Your towers, unlocked maps, difficulty completions, and all other progress stay with your account. Only the name displayed in menus and on leaderboards changes.

What characters can I use in my username?

Most usernames allow letters and numbers. Special characters like underscores or hyphens usually work, but spaces typically do not. If the game rejects your username, try removing spaces or special characters and try again.

If I change my username, will my old leaderboard scores disappear?

No. Your scores remain on the leaderboard under your new username. The leaderboard updates within a few minutes to show the new name next to your score.

Do I need to change my username on every platform separately?

Yes. If you play on both mobile and Steam, for example, you must change the username in settings on each platform individually. There is no option to change all platforms at once from one menu.
