Tap to open it and look for a list of available devices that show up below the toggle switch. All active Bluetooth-enabled devices around you will appear here.
Find your device from the list given and select it by tapping once. This will bring up a new screen where you can change its name.

Type in the new name for your device
Type in the new name for your device
After clicking on your Bluetooth device, the next step is to type in a new name for it. This is especially important if you have multiple devices connected to your iPhone as it helps you differentiate them easily.
To change the name, simply tap on the current name of your device and delete it. Then type in a new name that’s easy to remember and relevant to the device.
For instance, if you’re changing the Bluetooth name for your wireless headphones, consider using something like “My Headphones” or “Music Player.” However, avoid using any sensitive information or personal identifiers such as names or addresses.
It’s best to keep things simple when choosing a new Bluetooth name. Something too complicated may be difficult to identify later on.
Once you’ve typed in your desired name for the device, double-check for typos before saving. A clear and concise label will make it easier for future connections between devices without confusion or issues.
Save your changes
Once you have successfully typed in the new Bluetooth name for your iPhone, it is important to save your changes. Saving the changes will ensure that your device is recognizable and easily accessible by other devices with which you wish to connect.
To save your changes, simply look for the “Save” or “Done” button on your screen after typing in the new Bluetooth name. The placement of this button may vary depending on what version of iOS you are using but usually it can be found at the top right corner of your screen.
After clicking on the “Save” or “Done” button, wait for a few seconds until a notification appears confirming that your Bluetooth name has been updated. You can now exit out of Settings and start using your newly named device!
It’s worth noting that if you ever want to change back to the default Bluetooth name or choose another unique one, simply follow these same steps again. Remember that changing names frequently could cause confusion when trying to identify which device belongs to who during any group connections!
