Have you ever looked at your iPhone and thought, “I wish I could give you a new name”? Well, as it turns out, you can! Changing the name of your iPhone can help distinguish it from others when connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Go to Settings
First things first, you need to go to the Settings app on your iPhone (the one with the gear icon). Once you’re there, scroll down a bit until you see the option for “General”. Tap on it.
Step 2: Tap About
Once you’re in the General settings, you should see an option towards the top of the screen that says “About”. Give it a tap!
Step 3: Tap Name
Under the “About” section, you’ll see a few different pieces of information about your iPhone (carrier, software version, serial number, etc.). Towards the top of this list should be the current name of your iPhone. Tap on it.
Step 4: Type in a New Name
This is where the fun begins! Once you tap on your iPhone’s current name, a keyboard will pop up that allows you to type in a new name. Get as creative or as simple as you’d like! Once you have a name in mind, tap “Done”.
Step 5: Verify the New Name
After you’ve typed in your new iPhone name and tapped “Done”, you should see the new name appear at the top of your “About” section. Voila! You have successfully changed the name of your iPhone.
But wait, there’s more! Did you know that you can also change the name of your iPhone through your computer’s iTunes app? Here’s how:
Step 1: Connect Your iPhone to Your Computer
First things first, connect your iPhone to your computer via a USB cable. Once you’re connected, open up the iTunes app on your computer.
Step 2: Click on Your iPhone’s Icon
Once you’re in iTunes, you should see an icon towards the top left of the screen that represents your iPhone. Click on it.
Step 3: Click on “Summary”
Underneath the icon for your iPhone, you’ll see a few different tabs (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.). Click on the one that says “Summary”.
Step 4: Type in a New Name
Once you’re in the “Summary” tab, you should see an option towards the top of the screen that says “Name”. That’s where you can change the name of your iPhone. Type in whatever name you’d like and hit “Enter” (or “Return”) on your keyboard.
Step 5: Sync Your iPhone
After you’ve changed the name of your iPhone in iTunes, be sure to click on the “Apply” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will sync your iPhone with the newly updated name.
