change username

Post by erichshih
Hello!

I definitely love Waze! I am a newbie though and I now want to change my username without losing my data. Is this at all possible?

If you do, please make sure to reference shirlig's post (with a link) so they remember that they are supposed to make these changes...

I already see many people who dont have the world_XXXXX username anymore, and they joined the waze after me. How this is possible?
1) You probably signed up for Waze using your Facebook account, instead of creating a Waze account and then linking it to your Facebook account.
2) Have you contacted support to change your username?

Please read the forum rules & do not reopen old threads... There are instructions to change from a generic usa_ or world_ username in this thread: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 20#p389749

Unfortunately, Waze have temporarily disabled the ability to change username, while they improve the infrastructure.

See this announcement: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22812
