  1. None of this works or applies to Duolingo on PC. How do PC users change the display name? Username can be changed in settings but there is no way to change the display name.

  2. I’m unable to change the display name on PC or on Mac or on iOS. Sounds like something is broken in the UI.

  3. The section “Name” does not exist for me and I believe for everyone else on both my phone’s mobile app and on my PC. Is the feature really added?

    • Hi Meredith,

      If the “Name” section is missing, it may be due to a recent update or a temporary issue. Try these steps:

      1. Update the app: Make sure your Duolingo app is updated.
      2. Double-check settings: On mobile, go to “Profile” > “Settings” > “Profile.” On PC, log in, click “More,” then click “Settings.”
      3. Clear the cache: Clear the app or browser cache, or try reinstalling the app.
      I hope these steps help you.
