How to Change Your Google Assistant Nickname from “Big Papa”

Have you ever found yourself in a comical situation because of a quirky digital assistant nickname? It might seem trivial, but it can certainly lead to some awkward moments!

Recently, I encountered a humorous predicament when I discovered that my Google Assistant now insists on calling me “Big Papa.” This all started years ago as a lighthearted joke with a friend. At the time, I thought it was harmless and didn’t give it a second thought. However, I recently joined a group on Remind, and to my embarrassment, my nickname was revealed to others. It’s safe to say that the consequences of that playful request have come back to haunt me.

If, like me, you find yourself stuck with a nickname that just doesn’t fit, don’t worry. Changing it is a simple process! Here’s how you can update your assistant’s contact name so you’re not left with something so amusingly inappropriate:

1. Open the Google Assistant App: Begin by launching the Google Assistant app on your device.

2. Access Your Profile: Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top right corner to enter your settings.

3. Find Your Name: Scroll down to the “Personal info” section. Here, look for the option to update your name.

4. Edit Your Name: Tap on your current name and enter the new name you’d prefer. Choose something that represents you better!

5. Save Changes: Make sure to save your adjustments, and voilà! Your Google Assistant should now refer to you by your newly chosen name.

With these straightforward steps, you can finally bid farewell to the “Big Papa” persona and regain a more fitting identity in your digital interactions. Don’t let a former joke lead to an awkward situation—take control of your digital persona today!
