Changing your BIGO ID can be beneficial for various reasons – maybe you want a more memorable name, a better reflection of your brand, or simply a fresh start. This guide provides a clear and concise walkthrough on how to successfully change your BIGO ID. We'll cover the process itself, as well as some things to consider before making the change.
Understanding BIGO ID Changes
Before we dive into the steps, it's crucial to understand a few key aspects of changing your BIGO ID:
- Permanence: Once you change your BIGO ID, the change is permanent. You can't revert to your old ID unless you create a new account.
- Availability: Your desired ID must be available. If someone else is already using the ID you want, you'll need to choose a different one. BIGO ID availability is first-come, first-served.
- Impact on Followers: Changing your BIGO ID will not automatically notify your followers. Consider letting them know through other channels (like your social media) to avoid confusion.
Steps to Change Your BIGO ID
Unfortunately, BIGO Live doesn't offer a direct "change ID" option within the app settings. The only way to change your BIGO ID is to essentially create a new account. This means you will lose any data associated with your old account, such as past broadcasts and followers (unless you've backed them up elsewhere).
Here's what you need to do:
-
Back Up Important Information: Before anything else, make sure you've saved any crucial information from your current BIGO Live account. This might include screenshots of important conversations, links to your broadcasts, or any other data you want to keep.
-
Create a New Account: Download the BIGO Live app (if you haven't already) and create a new account using your desired BIGO ID. Make sure this ID is memorable, reflects your personality or brand, and is easy for others to find. Avoid using offensive or inappropriate language.
-
Connect Your Accounts: Once you've created your new account, connect any relevant social media accounts or platforms you want to associate with your new BIGO Live presence.
-
Inform Your Followers: Let your followers know about your new BIGO ID through other social media platforms, or using alternative communication channels. This helps ensure they can continue to find and connect with you.
-
Delete Old Account (Optional): Once you're fully settled into your new account, you can consider deleting your old account. This ensures no confusion arises from having two profiles. Remember that deleting your account is permanent, so be certain before proceeding.
Choosing the Right BIGO ID
Selecting a memorable and effective BIGO ID is key to your online presence. Here are some tips:
- Keep it short and memorable: Shorter IDs are easier to remember and share.
- Reflect your brand: If you're using BIGO Live for professional purposes, ensure your ID aligns with your brand identity.
- Use keywords (if relevant): If your content focuses on specific topics, incorporating relevant keywords can improve searchability.
- Check for availability: Before settling on an ID, check to make sure it's available.
- Avoid inappropriate language: BIGO Live has community guidelines that should be followed.
Conclusion
Changing your BIGO ID requires creating a new account, which means you'll lose your old account's data. Plan carefully, back up your important information, and inform your followers of the change to avoid any disruption to your online presence. Remember to choose a new ID that is both memorable and reflective of your brand. By following these steps, you can smoothly transition to a new and improved BIGO Live experience.
