It's great to see you around @Yalbo.

Regarding your inquiry, if you want to change your username, you just need to do the following from the Fitbit app:

1. Tap the Today tab, and tap your profile picture.
2. Tap the tile with your name.
3. Tap Personal > Display Name (tap the gear icon) > Display Name on Android).
4. Under Edit Names, tap the name or user name you want to change and enter your changes. 
5. Tap Save.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I also keep receiving an “Network Error” message each time I try.. anyone got any suggestions?

To those who are getting "Network Error", I think that is caused by choosing a name that already exists. The app appears to have a bug that causes it to show "Network Error" whenever the name you are trying to select has already been used.

I was experiencing the same "Network Error" until I finally added more numbers to the end of my name in order to try to ensure it was unique. After making my username more complex, it submitted successfully with no problem.

If my theory is right, this means that the developers for the FitBit app (iPhone, in my case) need to fix that bug so that the correct error message is displayed upon trying to submit a taken username.
