Renaming an iPhone changes the device name that can appear in places such as AirDrop, Personal Hotspot, Finder, and device lists.
- Open Settings.
- Tap General > About.
- Tap Name.
- Delete the old name and enter the new one.
- Tap Done or leave the screen to save the change.
If another device still shows the previous name, give it a moment to refresh or reconnect the devices.
If the labels on your screen differ slightly, use Settings search or the app’s current menus to find the named feature. Apple sometimes moves controls between iOS releases, so follow the feature name rather than an unrelated setting with similar wording.
