Snapchat is a fun and quirky app, but sometimes people get too creative with their usernames, and it becomes hard to keep track of who is who. If you have a friend on Snapchat whose display name you can’t quite remember, don’t worry – you can easily change it.

Snapchat lets users change their display names as often as they want, so some people keep changing their names to keep their friends on their toes. But if you don’t want to be constantly guessing who is on your Snapchat list, you can easily set a name of your choosing.

We’ll show you how to change someone’s name on Snapchat in just a few quick and easy steps.
