How to Change Your Skype Display Name on Mobile

Changing your Skype name on smartphones is straightforward.

These directions are for the Skype app only, not Skype Lite.

1. Open the Skype app.
2. Tap your Skype profile image at the top.
3. Tap your Skype profile, then tap the pencil icon next to your display name.
4. Make the necessary changes and then tap the checkmark to save.

This process changes only your Skype display name, not your Skype username or Skype ID. While changing your Skype display name alters what other users see when they connect with you, they can change how they see your display name after it’s added to their contacts.
