Description

I have been thinking about this for a little bit. We get a lot of questions in mobile support about how to change the WordPress.com username. Currently in the WordPress app you can not make changes to those fields directly in the app, but you can view them. I personally don't think it's a good idea to be able to change those things directly in the app, but it would potentially help users who want to change their username to be given instructions on where they can do that.

If you go to Me > Account settings you can see the username but not make changes to it. It would be great if on that page somewhere there was some copy similar to "To change the username for your WordPress.com account please go to https://WordPress.com/me/account/" This should help divert some of the questions we get about changing the username.
