I need to insert a vertically centered tilde into a URL in text mode (not inside the \url or \href commands). I've tried the solution proposed here but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

Here is my code

\documentclass[]{beamer}

\usepackage{textcomp}
\newcommand{\textapprox}{\raisebox{0.5ex}{\texttildelow}}


\begin{document}


\begin{frame}
\frametitle{MWE}
https://foo.com/\textapprox{}user/
\end{frame}


\end{document}

This is the error I'm getting

! LaTeX Error: Command \textapprox already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...


l.4 ...extapprox}{\raisebox{0.5ex}{\texttildelow}}


?

    well as the error says the command name already exist. So use another one or redefine the existing command (if you are sure that you don't need it). – Ulrike Fischer Jun 01 '21 at 12:17
