How to Change Your Xbox Name on Mobile
If you’re an Xbox user who frequently accesses the platform on your mobile device, you might have noticed that your current gamertag isn’t quite fitting anymore. Maybe you want to refresh your identity or simply make it more unique. Whatever the reason, changing your Xbox name on mobile is a straightforward process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to change your Xbox name on your mobile device.
Step 1: Open the Xbox App
The first step to changing your Xbox name on mobile is to open the Xbox app on your smartphone or tablet. If you haven’t already downloaded the app, you can find it in the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). Once installed, launch the app and log in with your Xbox account credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Profile
After logging in, you’ll see a list of options on the bottom of the screen. Tap on your profile icon, which should be the first option. This will take you to your Xbox profile page, where you can view your gamertag, profile picture, and other information.
Step 3: Access the Edit Profile Section
On your profile page, you’ll find an option to edit your profile. Tap on the “Edit Profile” button, which is typically located at the bottom of the screen. This will open a new menu with various options to customize your profile.
Step 4: Change Your Gamertag
In the “Edit Profile” menu, scroll down until you find the “Gamertag” option. Tap on it, and you’ll see your current gamertag displayed. To change it, tap on the “Change” button next to the gamertag field. You can now enter a new gamertag, ensuring it’s available and meets the Xbox gamertag guidelines.
Step 5: Confirm Your New Gamertag
After entering your new gamertag, tap “Next” to confirm the change. The app will check the availability of your chosen gamertag and let you know if it’s already taken or if it’s been successfully changed. If it’s available, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 6: Update Your Profile
Once your new gamertag is confirmed, you’ll need to update your profile. Tap “Update Profile” to save your changes. The app will process the request, and your Xbox name will be updated on your mobile device.
Step 7: Notify Your Friends
After changing your Xbox name, it’s a good idea to notify your friends so they can update their contact lists. You can do this by sending them a message through the Xbox app or by updating your gamertag on social media platforms.
Now that you’ve successfully changed your Xbox name on mobile, you can enjoy your new identity as you continue to play and connect with friends on the platform. Remember, your gamertag is an essential part of your gaming experience, so make it something that represents you and stands out.
