Where to find the username setting in Monopoly GO

Open Monopoly GO and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. This takes you to your account page. Look for a settings or profile option — the exact label depends on whether you play on iOS or Android, but both versions have this menu in the same location. Once you are in your profile settings, you should see a field showing your current username.

If you do not see a username field right away, scroll down through your profile settings. Some versions of the game hide the username option below other account details like your level, friends list, or linked social media accounts. The username field is always editable from this same menu.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username in Monopoly GO is changed through the profile icon in the bottom right, then into settings or profile options.
  • You can change your username as many times as you want, and the change takes effect when ready in the game.
  • Your new username appears to other players in multiplayer games and on leaderboards within a few seconds of saving.
  • If you linked Monopoly GO to Facebook or another social account, changing your in-game username does not change your social media name.

Steps to edit and save your new username

Tap on the username field to select it. The text should highlight, showing you that the field is active and ready for editing. Delete your current username by selecting all the text and pressing delete, or straightforward start typing your new name — most phones will replace the old text automatically.

Type your new username. Monopoly GO allows most letters, numbers, and some special characters, though the game will reject names that are too long or contain certain symbols. If your chosen name is rejected, try a shorter version or remove any special characters and try again.

After you have entered your new username, look for a save, confirm, or done button. Tap it to save your change. The game will update your profile when ready, and your new username will show to other players in multiplayer matches and on any leaderboards within a few seconds.

What happens after you change your username

Your new username appears everywhere in the game — in multiplayer lobbies, on leaderboards, and in your profile. Other players will see the updated name the next time they view your profile or encounter you in a game. There is no waiting period or approval process; the change is live as soon as you save it.

If you linked your Monopoly GO account to Facebook, Google Play, or Apple ID, changing your in-game username does not affect those linked accounts. Your social media name stays the same. Only the name that appears inside Monopoly GO changes.

Changing your username if you cannot find the setting

If you have looked through your profile settings and cannot find a username field, check whether you are logged in with a guest account. Guest accounts in Monopoly GO sometimes have limited profile options. To unlock the full profile menu, link your account to Facebook or your phone's built-in account system (Google Play on Android, Apple ID on iOS).

After linking, return to your profile settings. The username field should now be visible. If it still is not there, try closing the game completely and reopening it. Sometimes the profile menu does not load fully on the first try.

Restrictions and limits on usernames

Monopoly GO does not limit how many times you can change your username. You can change it as often as you want, and there is no cooldown period between changes. However, the game does filter out usernames that contain offensive language, are longer than a certain character limit, or use characters that the game does not support.

If the game rejects your username choice, it will show an error message explaining why. Common reasons include the name being too long, containing spaces where they are not allowed, or using symbols like @ or # that the game blocks. Try shortening the name or removing special characters.

Recovering your old username

Once you change your username, the old one is released and can be taken by another player. If you want to go back to a previous username, you can change it again at any time, but only if no one else has claimed that name in the meantime. If someone has taken it, you will need to choose a different name.

For this reason, if you are unsure about a new username, you might want to test it for a day or two before deciding to keep it. You can always change it back if you decide you prefer your original name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use spaces or special characters in my Monopoly GO username?

Most spaces and special characters are blocked by the game's filter. Stick to letters, numbers, and underscores if you want to avoid rejection. If your chosen name is rejected, remove any symbols and try again.

Will changing my username affect my game progress or money?

No. Your username is just a display name. Changing it does not touch your level, cash, properties, or any other game data. Everything stays exactly as it was.

What if another player has already taken the username I want?

Usernames in Monopoly GO are not unique — multiple players can have the same name. You can use any name you want, even if someone else is already using it. The game does not reserve names for single players.

Does my username change on Facebook if I linked my account?

No. Linking your Monopoly GO account to Facebook only connects the two for login purposes. Your Facebook name stays the same, and your Monopoly GO username is separate. You can change one without affecting the other.

How long does it take for my new username to show up in multiplayer games?

Your new username appears to other players within a few seconds of saving. If you are already in a multiplayer match when you change it, you may need to finish that game and start a new one to see the updated name in the lobby.
