> Facebook [...] nigh-unto permanent I found a way to change it and it still worked last time I tried. You must install Facebook Messenger. I am using iOS, don't know if the Android version is the same. Keep in mind that your old username will no longer lead to your profile once changed. For me this was exactly what I wanted but for some they might want to not change their username after all due to this. In the Facebook Messenger app, tap your profile picture in the top left corner. This brings you to a screen with the title "me". Right under your picture it will say "username m.me/yourusername" where yourusername is your actual username. Tap on your username and select "edit username". Once you've changed your username in the Facebook Messenger app your identifier on Facebook itself will change also so now when people go to your Facebook profile on facebook.com in their web browser they will see your new username in the address bar. Figuring this out was actually very difficult, as most information online claimed that your username could not be changed. Because it somewhat seems to me that Facebook also don't want people to change usernames I ask that everyone who reads this keep that secret. HN pages usually don't rank highly on Google so mentioning it here shouldn't matter too much. If any Facebook employees read this, please either a) Make it easy for others to find out by updating official documentation, or b) Make it easy to change from the main facebook.com application, or c) Forget that you saw my comment. As I'd like to be able to change my username in the future as I have done in the past.
