Where to find the username change option

Open Zigazoo on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. From your profile page, tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top right, then select "Settings." Look for "Username" or "Edit Profile" — the exact wording depends on which version of the app you have, but it will be in this Settings menu.

If you are using Zigazoo on a computer, log in to your account, click your profile picture in the top right corner, and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu. The username field will appear on your profile settings page.

The Settings menu is the same place where you control privacy, notifications, and other account details. Once you are in Settings, the username field is usually near the top of the page or grouped with other profile information.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username change takes effect when ready after you save it, and the old username becomes available for someone else to use.
  • Zigazoo usernames can include letters, numbers, underscores, and periods, but spaces and special characters like @ or # are not allowed.
  • If the username you want is already taken, you will see an error message and need to choose a different one.
  • Changing your username does not affect your account security, password, or any videos or content you have posted.
  • Your followers remain connected to your account after a username change, and you still log in with your email address, not your username.

What usernames Zigazoo allows

Zigazoo accepts usernames that are 3 to 30 characters long. You can use lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, underscores (_), and periods (.). You cannot use spaces, hyphens, or special characters like @, #, $, or &.

Your username must also be unique — no two accounts on Zigazoo can have the same username. If you try to save a username that someone else already has, the app will tell you it is unavailable and ask you to pick a different one. Usernames are case-insensitive, meaning that "JohnSmith" and "johnsmith" are treated as the same username.

Steps to change your username on mobile

Tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top right of your profile page. Select "Settings" from the menu. Tap "Username" or "Edit Profile," depending on your app version.

Clear the current username by selecting all the text and deleting it, or tap in the field and type your new username. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" — the button name varies by app version. Your new username is now active. If you see an error message, the username is already taken and you will need to try a different one.

Steps to change your username on a computer

Log into your Zigazoo account on the website. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Settings." Find the username field on your profile settings page. Click in the field, delete the old username, and type your new one.

Click "Save" or "Update" to confirm the change. The page will refresh, and your new username will appear on your profile when ready. If the username is unavailable, you will see a message telling you to choose something different before you can proceed.

What happens after you change your username

Your new username shows up right away on your profile, in comments, and in any videos you post going forward. Old videos and comments you made before the change will still show your previous username, because Zigazoo does not retroactively update past content.

Your account login does not change — you still sign in with your email address and password, not your username. If anyone had your old username saved or bookmarked your profile, they will need to search for your new username to find you again. Your followers, video history, and all account data remain exactly the same.

If your new username is already taken

Zigazoo will show an error message saying the username is unavailable. This means someone else has already claimed it. You will need to choose a different username and try again.

If there is a username you really want but it belongs to an inactive account, Zigazoo does not have a process to request it. Your best option is to pick a similar variation — for example, adding a number or underscore — and move forward with that instead. Many people use variations like "username123" or "username_official" when their first choice is taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Only if no one else has claimed your old username in the meantime. Since old usernames become available when ready after you change them, someone else may have taken it. If it is still free, you can change back to it anytime.

Does changing my username affect my followers or my videos?

Your followers stay connected to your account — they do not need to re-follow you. Your videos remain on your account and keep all their views and comments. The old username will appear on videos you posted before the change, but your account itself is the same.

What if I forgot my password and cannot get into Settings?

You will need to reset your password first. On the Zigazoo login screen, tap "Forgot Password," enter your email address, and follow the link Zigazoo sends you. Once you have reset your password and logged back in, you can change your username normally.

Can I use special characters like @ or # in my username?

No. Zigazoo only allows letters, numbers, underscores, and periods. Spaces, hyphens, and symbols like @, #, $, or & will not work. If you try to use them, the app will reject the username and ask you to try again.

How long does it take for my new username to show up everywhere?

Your new username appears on your profile and in new comments or videos when ready. However, old content you posted before the change will still display your previous username. Zigazoo does not update past posts retroactively.
