Your username is your unique identifier on Kanvie. It appears in URLs, mentions, and notifications, and helps other users find you.


General Rules

Your username:

  • Must be between 2 - 20 characters long, all in lower-case
  • Must be unique. No two profiles on Kanvie can have the same username
  • Can include letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and underscores (_)
  • May not include the word “Kanvie”, “Shekan”, “Cleverkan”, or “Kanchieve” to avoid impersonation of official Kanvie accounts
  • Usernames are visible to everyone, so choose one you're comfortable sharing publicly
  • Changing your username will impact old links to your profile that are shared on sources outside of Kanvie
  • Make sure to follow the Kanvie Community Guidelines


How to Update Your Username

  1. Go to the Me 👤 tab in the bottom navigation bar of your Kanvie app
  2. Go to Settings ⚙️
  3. Tap AccountUsername
  4. Enter your new desired username
  5. Tap Save ☑️


What Happens After Changing Your Username?

  • Mentions of your old username will not automatically update
  • Your profile URL will update to reflect the new username
  • Followers will still see your content, and your posts will remain unchanged
