I deleted my facebook, now I'm just a number...

I appreciate that this has been raised many times, but I'd like to offer a different take on this issue.

I understand that your username is essentially your ID, but for people in my position, why not allow us to define a display name? This way, my friends on spotify can still identify me by name.

There has to be a solution to this that doesn't involve deleting your account and starting again, surely.

Hey there @animald,

Thank you for your post here in the Community.

Since you created your account through Facebook, your Facebook name was your display name.

We're always testing things by adding or removing features to make Spotify better overall and constantly aiming to improve our features. We’re sorry that this means you’re not able to use Spotify like you wish to do at the moment.

If you think your suggestion will appeal to other users you can always create an idea on the relevant idea board. We always take new ideas and feedback into consideration to improve the app.

We hope this information was helpful.

If you have any questions we're always one reply away.

​​​​​​​Take care!
