To change the name of your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap General.
- Tap About at the top of the list.
- Tap Name.
- Clear the current name by tapping the "x" next to it or deleting it manually.
- Enter the new name you want for your iPhone.
- Tap Done to save the new name.
This new name will be used by iCloud, AirDrop, Bluetooth, your Personal Hotspot, and when connecting your iPhone to a computer, making it easier to identify your device
. If you want the change to take effect immediately on network connections like Bluetooth or AirDrop, you may briefly toggle Airplane Mode off and on after renaming
. This process works on all recent iPhone models and iOS versions, including iOS 17
