Changing your display name and picture in Monopoly GO could be exactly the thing you need to do to ensure that you’re ready to take on the world and your friends. If you’re struggling to figure out how to make this happen, however, you’re not alone. Let’s first jump into the ☰ menu in the top right corner of your game to get started. Once inside, you’ll want to first click on your picture to enter the editing menu.

From here, you’ll have a few different options. If you want to change your avatar, you can select any from the photos offered or use your photo from your Facebook account if you have linked the game to the social media platform.

Once you have completed that, you’ll be ready to show off around your newly built town with your favorite Monopoly friends. Just make sure you know how to add friends so you can show off your new profile.
