How to change a Display Name
Meta reviews every Display Name change request. Please follow Meta's guidelines for Display Names.
Do not request a Display Name change unless it is necessary, as the number of permitted Display Name Changes is limited.
To change your Display Name:
Find the Number for which you would like to change the Display Name.
Click on Show details.
Under Display Name, click Edit.
Input the new desired Display Name.
Click Save - please allow up to 10 seconds for the display name to be changed. When you get the success message you can refresh the page and the display name will be Modified.

When the Display Name is approved, your account will be automatically updated with the new Display Name.
Please allow up to 24 hours for display name changes to be reviewed by the WhatsApp team. If your display name is rejected, please review the Display Name Guidelines and repeat the process again until you get a display name approved.
