How to change your Google Play Store developer name
▶ What is the developer name?
The developer name is the name of the user who publishes your app on the Play Store and runs it.\
Your developer name will appear under the name of your app as it appears in the store.
When you register for your first developer account, you enter the developer’s name, and Google can change the developer name after the app is released.
(Apple will not change the developer’s name)
Google Play Store
The Google developer name is displayed under the app name when the app is released on the Play Store.
If you search for the released app name in the Play Store app as shown in the image above, you can find the developer name under the app name.
You can change the name of the developer and use it.
Apple App Store
It is the same for the app store.
The developer name is displayed under the app name.
However, as mentioned above, please note that in Apple, once registered developer name can not be changed later.
Then let’s check how to change the developer name~
