The quickest way to change your SongPop username

Open SongPop on your phone or go to songpop.com on a browser, then tap or click your profile icon (usually in the top corner). Select "Settings" or "Profile Settings," find the username field, type your new name, and save. The change takes effect when ready, though it may take a few minutes to show up in other players' friend lists.

If you signed up through Facebook or Google, you may need to disconnect that account first before you can edit your username directly in SongPop. The steps for doing that are in the Settings menu under "Connected Accounts" or "Login Methods."

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your SongPop username from the Settings menu in your profile, and the change appears when ready in your own account.
  • If you logged in with Facebook or Google, you may need to unlink that account before SongPop lets you set a custom username.
  • Your old username becomes available for other players to use once you change it.
  • Changing your username does not affect your game progress, coins, or friends list.

Changing your username on mobile (iOS and Android)

Tap the profile icon at the top of the SongPop home screen — it usually shows your current avatar or initials. This opens your profile page. Look for a "Settings" button, often shown as a gear icon, and tap it.

In Settings, scroll until you see the username field. Tap it, clear the old name, and type your new one. Most usernames can be 3 to 20 characters and can include letters, numbers, and underscores. Avoid spaces and special characters like @, #, or &. Once you type the new name, look for a "Save" or "Confirm" button and tap it. SongPop will tell you if the name is already taken by another player.

Changing your username on the web

Go to songpop.com and log in. Click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner, then select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.

Find the username field on the settings page. Click in the field, delete your current username, and type the new one. Click "Save" or "Update." If the name is unavailable, SongPop will show an error message and you can try a different one.

What to do if you are logged in through Facebook or Google

If you created your SongPop account by signing in with Facebook or Google, SongPop may use your name from that account instead of letting you set a custom username. To change this, go to Settings and look for "Connected Accounts," "Login Methods," or "Social Login."

Tap or click the option to disconnect Facebook or Google. SongPop will ask you to confirm. Once disconnected, go back to the username field in your profile settings and you should now be able to type a custom name. You can reconnect Facebook or Google later if you want — your custom username will stay in place.

Usernames that SongPop will not accept

SongPop blocks usernames that are already taken, contain only numbers, or include spaces and most special characters. The system also rejects names that are offensive, impersonate other players, or violate SongPop's community guidelines.

If you see an error message when you try to save, try a different name. Adding a number or underscore to the end of your preferred name often works — for example, "MusicLover_2" instead of "MusicLover."

What happens to your old username

Once you change your username, your old one becomes available for any other player to use. Your game progress, coins, trophies, and friends list all stay with your account under the new name. Other players will see your new username in their friend lists and in game results, though it may take a few minutes to update everywhere.

If you change your mind and want your old username back, you can change it again — but only if no one else has claimed it in the meantime. There is no way to reserve an old username or get it back if someone else takes it.

Troubleshooting username changes that do not work

If the "Save" button is greyed out or does not respond, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On mobile, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iOS) or tap the back button (Android) to close SongPop, then reopen it.

If you are still stuck, check that you are not logged in through a connected Facebook or Google account — that can prevent custom usernames. You can also try changing your username on the web version at songpop.com instead of the app, or vice versa. If nothing works, contact SongPop support through the Settings menu and describe the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once?

Yes, you can change your username as many times as you want. There is no limit on how often you can do it, and each change takes effect when ready. Just remember that your old username becomes available for others to claim once you change it.

Will my friends still see me after I change my username?

Yes. Your friends list and game history stay with your account. Your friends will see your new username in their friend lists and in game results, though it may take a few minutes to update across the app.

What if the username I want is already taken?

Try adding a number, underscore, or short word to make it unique — for example, "SongLover_22" or "SongLover_Fan." You can also check if the name is spelled differently or has a number in the middle. If you really want a specific name, you can check back later in case the other player stops using it.

Do I lose my coins or progress if I change my username?

No. Your coins, trophies, game history, and all progress stay with your account. Changing your username only changes what other players see — it does not affect anything you have earned in the game.

Can I change my username if I signed up with my phone number?

Yes. If you created your account with a phone number or email address (not Facebook or Google), you can change your username directly in Settings without disconnecting anything. Just go to your profile, open Settings, and edit the username field.
