Starting Feb. 23, Snapchatters will be able to change their usernames on the application.

Snap Inc. said this option was one of its most highly requested features, adding that changing a username has no impact on a Snapchatter’s friends list, Memories, Snapcode or Snap score.

Once the feature is rolled out, Snapchatters can tap the Bitmoji in the top left corner of the Snapchat camera to access their profile screen, and then select settings by tapping the gear icon in the top right corner.

They can then tap Username just below Name, followed by Change Username, at which point they will see a reminder that their username can only be changed once per year.
