User name on Apple Community

How do you change your user name on Apple Community Support? I find it interesting that you are able to change your fun "photo emoji" but not something IMPORTANT as your USERname. I have only used Apple products and have enjoyed their products for a long time.

You cannot change your name here yourself. Only the Community Hosts can do that. If you want to change your name, let us know and one of us can flag your request to the attention of the Hosts.


Regards.

I am a fellow user as is just about everyone who participates in these forums. When you get to a certain level in the Community, we users gain additional capabilities, one of which is the ability to report posts to the Community Hosts. While I can only speculate, I'm sure that Apple doesn't want everyone here to be able to do that or the Hosts would undoubtedly be inundated with such reports. See:

So if you do want the Hosts to change your name, again just let us know and we can flag your post for attention.


Regards.
