Handle

What does Handle mean on Twitter?

Twitter name you go by

Handle is basically your Twitter username. It’s a crucial part of how Twitter works because tweets and retweets are directed at users through their handle.

The handle is always preceded by the “@” symbol. So, if your handle is ‘JohnDoe’, on Twitter it would appear as @JohnDoe.

Remember, your handle is how people find and interact with you on Twitter. It’s how your friends, followers, and any other Twitter users will direct their tweets or retweets towards you.
