QuestionHow do I change my Tumblr URL on the app?
Community AnswerOn the app itself, you can't, but the mobile version on platforms like Safari is able to. -
QuestionMine doesn't have the username there at all, not even to edit, what am I missing?
Community AnswerI had the same problem but managed to work it out. When you get to step 6, you'll see on the right it says "BLOGS" with your blog underneath it. Click on that and scroll down and you should see the option to change it. -
QuestionWhy is the URL important?
Community AnswerIt's the name that appears with your Tumblr. It's also what anyone would use to search for your blog.
Warnings
