If you have more than one Bluetooth device connected to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you may want to rename them. The name of the devices that appear in your list of available Bluetooth devices will be pulled from the name of each device. This means if you want to make it easier for other users or yourself to identify which device is which, it’s a good idea to change these names!
How to change bluetooth name on iPhone?
Here is how:
Open the Settings app
To rename your iPhone’s Bluetooth devices, open the Settings app. Navigate to the Bluetooth option and select it.
Press on the device you want to change its name and then enter a new one. For example, if you are renaming an AirPods case or car speaker, you could use “My AirPods Case” or “My Car Speaker.”
Tap Bluetooth
To rename a device:
Navigate to the Bluetooth settings screen. Tap Bluetooth in the menu that appears on the left side of your screen, then tap the blue “i” next to the device you want to rename (this should be an option if it is currently connected).
Tap on Name and type in a new name for this device (e.g., “Laptop” or “iPhone”). Tap Done in the upper right corner of your screen when finished changing names, then tap Save at bottom right of pop-up window and confirm again by tapping Save one more time
Tap the blue “i” next to the device you want to rename
To change the name of a device, you’ll need to tap on the “i” icon next to it. This will take you to its details page, where you can rename it by tapping on Name and typing in a new one. Once you’ve finished, tap Done in the upper right corner of your screen.
Tap on Name and type in a new name
To change the name of your Bluetooth device, tap on its name. You can type in a new name that is between 0 and 32 characters long. The characters must be letters, numbers, or underscores (_).
For example:
- If you want to change the name “iPhone” to “Shark”, tap on iPhone’s name. Then type in Shark and tap Done.
- If you want to change the contact name of a Bluetooth device from “Phone” to “My Phone,” tap on Phone’s contact name (this will appear as [Phone] near the top of your screen). Then type in My Phone and tap Done
Tap Done in the upper right corner of your screen
The name change is saved, and you can now go to another device and connect to it. There is no undo button for this action, so if you tap on Cancel instead of Done, all of the changes that you made will be lost. Thankfully, that’s only temporary as long as you don’t close out of Settings yet! You can also only change a device’s name if it isn’t currently connected with another Bluetooth device — otherwise, everything will get messed up even more than before!
You can change the name of all of your ios devices
You can change the name of all of your ios devices from the Settings app.
- Open the Settings app and go to “General” > “Bluetooth”.
- Tap on any device that you want to rename, then tap on its current name in upper case letters at the top of the next page. This will open up a keyboard for you to type in what you want it renamed to (just like naming something on an iPhone or iPad).
- Hit enter after naming each device and wait for them all to update their names across devices connected with them; sometimes this takes a few seconds depending on how many devices are paired together at once!
Conclusion
It’s easy to change the name of your ios devices, and you can do it in just a few minutes. Just follow these steps: open up your settings app; tap on Bluetooth; scroll down until you find the device that needs renaming; tap on the blue “i” next to the device; type in a new name for it (3-4 letters is best); tap Done in the upper right corner of your screen!
