Username and profile picture are the only things which comes first when it is about anyone’s Instagram or Facebook account.
A good attractive username can become your core brand value and a rough name of your account can have negative impacts in the same way.
Sometimes, we start an Instagram profile or page without having any hope of getting a brand value but all of a sudden our content goes viral and our account becomes famous. In such a situation we move toward making that of our Insta account as a professional account.
All we need is a good, attractive and beautiful username which can have positive impacts on our reach.
We think about changing the username of our Instagram account in such a situation. There is no problem in changing the name but the problem is the synced Facebook account.
You can easily change name on Instagram without changing your Facebook username even if your account is also linked to Facebook.

- Tap on three lines in the upper right corner
- Then click on “Settings” >> “Accounts center” >> “Profiles” >> “Instagram” >> toggle off the switch in front of “Sync profile info”.
