Can someone help please, I am on the app and I can't seem to change my username.

I can only do it on the website. You just click on settings and type in the new name you want to use and save it

Are you iPhone or Android? I'm on the iPhone app and if I go to the topics tab and click the three lines in the top right it takes me to where I can change my username.

Oh sorry after the three lines I have to select "My Mumsnet" from the menu that comes down.

Hi OP

Can you let us know what device you're using?

Just so you know, @mummyof2tots, if you're using the app you can change your username but it can only be changed to one of the names that's already registered to your account. If you want to use a brand new name you'll need to switch to the mobile or desktop site.

I can change it to a new one on the iPhone app. This isn't a different name of mine in my pic. This is how I've done my last few changes.
