How to Change Your Discord Nickname on a Discord Server

Discord username is unique to you, allowing others to reach out to you on the platform. Besides, when you use Discord on a gaming server by default, your username becomes your nickname. The nickname is unique to your server. Yet, for specific servers like Valorant or any other, you can change your identity without changing the username. These changes won’t reflect on any other gaming server linked to your Discord.

For example, if my username on Discord is “ashishm,” it could be “ashishval” on the Valorant server and “ashishdragon” on the Dragon Ball server. It helps users to safeguard their original discord identity.

On a Desktop:

Changing your Discord nickname on a desktop is simple thanks to the easy-to-navigate functions. Nickname on servers is also labeled as “Server Nickname,” which can be different from the username.

1. Log in to your Discord account on your desktop and choose the server from the left sidebar.
   
2. In the right panel listing server members, right-click your username and choose Edit Server Profile.
   
   
3. Enter your new nickname in the Server Nickname field.
    
4. Click the Save option.

A quicker way to achieve the above is to use the slash command “/nick” followed by your desired nickname in a chat on that server.

From Your Android or iPhone

1. Open the server on which you want to change the nickname by tapping it.
2. Tap on the menu in the upper right corner.
   
3. Select Edit Server Profile from the menu that appears at the bottom.
   
4. You will see a Nickname section; type your preferred or new nickname.
   
5. Click the Save button.

Using this simple method, you can change your Discord server nickname from your phone. Create a Discord poll to ask your friends if you should change your username or take their feedback on which username you should use.

Change Your Discord Username to Reflect Your Identity

Changing your username or nickname is easy whether you’re using Discord on your computer or a mobile device. You should use a username that reflects your personality while also hiding your real name.
