Changing Your Username
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
- Go to the Me 👤 tab in the bottom navigation bar of your Kanvie app
- Go to Settings ⚙️
- Tap Account → Username

What Happens After Changing Your Username?
