Other Guides and Updates on Genshin Impact 1.2 Update

One of the most profound features coming with the Genshin Impact 1.2 update is the nickname feature. Now, let’s be honest here – we all have friends who change their in-game names more than equipment.

This makes the upcoming nickname feature one of the most useful ones – and today we have prepared a handy guide showing how you can set a nickname for your friends in Genshin Impact once you get your hands on the new update.

How to assign Nickname for your friends in Genshin Impact

Assigning nicknames to your friends is a good way to remember them. Moreover, it helps players to keep track of friends who quite often change their IGN(in-game name) in Genshin Impact.

Step 1.) Open the Friends tab –> My Friends in Genshin Impact.

Step 2.) Click on the friend’s name – for whom you want to set nickname.

A small pop-up window with your friends chosen icon, adventure rank and word level will show up.

Step 3.) In the pop-up window, on the top-right corner – click on the three dots for an additional menu to show up.

Step 4.) Click on Set Name – now choose a suitable nickname for your friend.

Now whenever you enter a private chat or open the friend’s tab – for a particular friend, you can find your given nickname in blue color text appearing beside or below your friend’s name.

Below Traveler players can see the given nickname “Aether” appearing in blue color text

Genshin Impact is a free to play gacha-based role-playing game currently available on PC, PS4, Android, and iOS.
