social handle

Your digital nickname

A social handle is a username on social media platforms, typically preceded by the @ symbol: You can find me @janedoe on most platforms.

Handle comes from CB radio slang for an identifying name, now standard for online identities.

People may use consistent handles across platforms or different ones for different contexts.
