To change display name Roblox mobile, open the app and tap the three dots icon (More) in the bottom-right corner, then go to Settings, Account Info, and tap Change Display Name.

What is a Roblox display name?
Your Roblox display name is the customizable name that appears in experiences and on your profile, and it is completely separate from your permanent username. While your username is the unique login identifier tied to your account, the display name is what other players see when you chat, play games, or visit their profiles. This means you can keep the same username you have always had while giving yourself a fresh, visible identity in the Roblox community.
How to change your display name on Roblox mobile
Follow these exact steps to change your display name in the Roblox mobile app. The official help page confirms this single path works for both iPhone and Android, with no separate menu structures for either operating system.
- Open the Roblox app and log in to your account.
- Tap the More button, shown as three dots, in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Account Info.
- Tap Change Display Name, look for the pencil-and-paper icon next to it.
- Type your new display name into the text field.
- Tap Save.
After you save, the change is immediate on Roblox’s servers. If you do not see the new name right away, refresh the app or pull down to reload your profile, and the updated display name will appear.
What to do if you can't change your display name
If you are unable to change your display name, the first thing to check is whether you are actually logged into the account you want to edit. If the account cannot be accessed, Roblox’s display-name help page points users to password reset steps. Once you are back in, the Change Display Name option will be available again.
If you are logged in but the new name does not show up after saving, do not panic. Roblox states that refreshing should show the new display name, so close the app completely and reopen it, or navigate away from your profile and back. If the name still appears old, wait a few seconds and refresh again, this is a known display lag, not a failed save.
