How to change nickname

I am trying to change the nickname that is displayed on my apple Iphone app store reviews. I looked in my account settings on my phone and on my PC and I could not find it. I looked up some older articles with the same question and followed their instructions only to find out that they are no longer valid. Currently, how does one go about changing their nickname?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Thank you.


So for anyone who was confused like me, apparently you HAVE to use itunes in order to do this. There is literally no other way. Download the app, sign in, click anywhere on the home screen and press enter, then go to Account > view my account, and it opens a unique menu found nowhere else where you have the nickname change option. Hopefully they make this option available on other apple devices and account websites someday in the future.

I can do absolutely everything — Apple Pay, change my credit card, security settings, changes of all kinds related to my Apple ID straight from my iPad. But I need iTunes, which I don’t even use, to change my App Store nickname? So, I’m still confused and can’t believe that’s really true. Just basic logic has me still looking for the answer.
