Change your first name

You can change the first name on your profile once every 7 days. Open Profile, Edit Profile, Name, type the new name and tap Save first name.

Change your name in the Android app

1. Open the Profile tab and tap Edit Profile.
2. Tap Name. The Name & Bio screen opens.
3. Type your first name in the First name box.
4. Tap Save first name.

What a name can be

• Your first name only, up to 30 characters. If you type two names, only the first is kept.
• It needs letters. Emoji and symbols cannot be used in names.
• No phone numbers.
• Use your real first name. Murudo's rules ask for your real identity.

The 7-day wait

After you change your name, the screen shows You can change your first name again on followed by a date, and Save first name is switched off until then. The wait cannot be skipped in the app, so check the spelling before you save.

The banner at the top of Edit Profile says the same thing: First name updates are available every 7 days.

Your name is not your username

The first name on your profile is what other members see. A username is what some members log in with, and it cannot be changed. See Can I change my username or phone number?.

On Murudo Web
