YouTube is constantly improving its features to provide the best and most convenient experience for its viewers.

You can modify your channel name by clicking the edit icon, and then clicking publish to save it. To update the name of your channel from your phone, tap on your profile picture and then select your channel. After clicking on Edit Channel, you may change the name of your channel and then hit OK.
