As in any social network, on Instagram each user has two names : the username (which is a unique identifier for each user, so it is not repeated) and the first name (which can be your real name and surname, but you can really put whatever you want, no matter what is repeated). You can change the first name as many times as you want and put it with combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters at your whim.
However, we cannot say the same about the Instagram username that has many limitations, as it is the one that people will use to find you on the platform. The username you choose must not be owned by someone else, must not have spaces, and must be all lowercase . Of course, we have found a trick that allows you to skip this last rule. Next, we’ll show you how to capitalize all or just part of your Instagram username.
How to Capitalize Your Instagram Username
What is the use of putting the Instagram username in capital letters? To be frank, not at all. However, almost no one on the platform has it like this, which will make your profile unique and in a certain way stand out from the others. It’s great to show off with friends! Beyond that, we don’t see any other use for it. With that point clear, follow these steps to capitalize your username on Instagram:
- First, link a Facebook account to your Instagram account:
- If you haven’t done so before, you need to tap on your user icon, tap the three horizontal stripes in the top right corner, and select Settings .
- Click on Account Center (it’s below the Meta logo).
- Then go to Accounts and add your Facebook account. It can be an account that you have just created, just keep in mind that the name you put on that account will appear in your Instagram description
- Then, go back to the main Account Center menu and go to Profiles .
- Choose your Instagram profile and then tap on Username .
- Capitalize whatever username you want (it can be all caps or caps only in parts). If it is free, a green check should appear and the Done button below. Press it to confirm the change.
That is all! We really don’t know if it’s a bug or if it’s something the platform expects some users to do. So take advantage of doing it while possible . Clearly, this won’t improve your Instagram account as much as these guides to getting real Instagram followers and more reach will.
