SPICING UP A TWITTER NAME

You can emoji to the name displayed on your Twitter account by editing your profile and selecting the characters you wish to use.

Start by opening the Twiitter app on your Android or iOS device by logging into your account on the  twitter.com

In the mobile app, tap your round icon in the corner to get to the profile page and then tap the  Edit Profile button.

In a desktop web browser slick your personal icon on the left and then click Edit Profile button, you can change the customized text and images associated with your accounts.

Click the name displayed on your Twitter account and then insert your preferred emoji characters . On a mobile device, switch to the emoji keyboard included with  Android or iOS.

If you do not have a ready set of emoji built in into your desktop operating system, look for an online emoji repository like  Emojipedia-org, where you can copy and paste  characters into your profile or other documents.

In addition to changing your displayed  Twitter name   -which has a maximum of  20 characters   -you can update your account's personal and header images, add or edit the short bit of biographical text shown next to your name, and adjust several other items on your profile.

Tap or Click the  Save Changes button when you are finished.

You can also change your unique user name {the@yournamehere part of your account} in your  Twitter settings without losing your existing followers.

To do that, select your profile icon in the app or browser and choose ''Settings and Privacy''  from the menu.

Next, tap or click the Account and then Username, where you can make your change   -as long as the new user name is fewer than  15 characters and is not in use already by someone else.
