Change Profile URL in the Mobile App

Scroll down and tap Settings & privacy. It's near the top of the expanded menu items.

Tap Settings. Your Facebook settings will expand.

Tap Accounts Center. It's at the top of the page under the "Meta" logo. If you don't see Accounts Center here, Facebook hasn't migrated your account to this new feature. In this case, scroll back up, tap Username, enter a new username, and tap Save Changes.

Tap Profiles. This option is at the top of Accounts Center.

Select your Facebook account. If you have multiple Facebook accounts or an Instagram account, you'll see more than one option. Tap the Facebook profile that you want to customize.

Tap Username. This displays your current Facebook username, which is the part of the URL after facebook.com/.

Type a new username and tap Done. Once you change your username, your Facebook profile link will contain your new username. Your new username should be 5 characters or more, and can contain both letters and numbers. The only symbol allowed is a period (.).

Click Settings. It's at the top of the menu.

Change Page URL on a Computer

Click your profile photo at the top-right corner of Facebook. A menu will expand. Use this method to change the URL of the Facebook Page you've created for your business or organization rather than your personal profile link. It's not currently possible to change your Facebook Page URL in the mobile app for Android, iPhone, or iPad. You'll need to access Facebook on a computer. Make sure you are signed in with a Facebook account that has administrative access over the Facebook Page you want to edit.

Click See all profiles. A list of Pages you manage will expand. If you don't see this option, your Page hasn't yet been migrated to the New Pages Experience. Instead, click Pages on the left side of your Facebook feed, choose your Page, and select Edit Page Info. Then, skip to Step 7.

Select the Facebook Page you want to customize. This switches to your Facebook Page.

Click the name of the Page in the left panel. Now you'll see the Manage Page dashboard.

Click Settings in the left pane. Your General Page Settings will expand.

Click Edit next to "Username." If you haven't changed your URL in the past, you'll see "You have not set a username" here.

Type a new username and click Save Changes. You'll do so in the text field to the right of the "Username" text. As long as the username is not taken and complies with Facebook's terms, you'll see "Username is available" and a green checkmark after typing your username. Once you click Save Changes, your Facebook Page link will be changed. Your new username should be 5 characters or more, and can contain both letters and numbers. The only symbol allowed is a period (.). If prompted, enter your Facebook password to confirm.
