Where to Find the Username Setting in the Perplexity

On the Perplexity Android app, your profile and account settings are all in one spot. The app’s layout is simple, but if you’re new, it might take a second to find the right menu. Just look for your profile icon or the little gear symbol—those are your best friends for any account changes.
Once you’re in the settings, you’ll see your account info, including your current username and email. The app lets you update your username right from here, so you don’t need to visit a website or use a different device. It’s all about making your experience as smooth as possible.

What Happens After You Change Your Username
After you hit save, your new username should show up right away in the app. If you don’t see it, just close the app and open it again. The change is instant, and you don’t need to log out or restart your phone. Your profile, threads, and collections will all update with your new handle.
Just a heads up: usernames need to be unique, so if someone else already has the one you want, you’ll need to try another. Also, keep it simple—no spaces or special characters, just standard Latin letters and numbers. If you share threads or collections, remember that your username might be visible to others, so pick something you’re cool with.
