How Do I Rename My iPhone Airdrop?
If you want to rename your iPhone’s AirDrop, there are a few different ways you can do it. One way is through the Settings app. Tap on General and then About.
From here, tap on the Name field and enter the new name you want for your device. You can also use this same method to change the name of your other Apple devices like your iPad or iPod touch. Another way to change your AirDrop name is directly from the Control Center.
Simply open up Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of your screen (or up from the bottom if you’re using an iPhone with a Home button). Once Control Center is open, tap and hold on to the WiFi icon. This will bring up a menu where you can select “AirDrop.”
From here, simply tap on “Rename” and enter the new name for your device.
Why Does My Iphone Have a Different Name on Airdrop?
If you open up the AirDrop settings on your iPhone, you might notice that your device has a different name than what is listed in the Settings app. This can be confusing, but there’s actually a good reason for it. The reason has to do with how AirDrop works.
When you set up AirDrop, your device creates a special Wi-Fi network that other devices can join. Your iPhone broadcasts its presence on this network using the Bonjour protocol. Part of this broadcast includes your device’s name.
However, the name that is broadcasted over AirDrop is not necessarily the same as the one that is listed in Settings. In fact, it’s usually abbreviated. For example, my iPhone’s full name is “John’s iPhone,” but it shows up as “Johns-iPhone” when I use AirDrop.
This can be helpful if you have multiple devices with similar names. By seeing the abbreviated version of the name, you can more easily tell which device you’re trying to share with. It also means that people who see your device’s name won’t necessarily know who it belongs to (which could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective).
So if you’re wondering why your iPhone has a different name when using AirDrop, now you know!
How Do I Change the Name That Shows Up When I Call Someone on My iPhone?
If you have an iPhone, there are two ways that you can change the name that shows up when you call someone. The first way is to go into your Contacts app and edit the contact information for the person whose name you want to change. The second way is to change the nickname for the contact in your Phone app settings.
To edit a contact’s information in your Contacts app, open the app and find the contact whose name you want to change. Tap on their name to open their contact information, then tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen. From here, you can scroll down and tap on “Name” to edit their first, middle, and last name.
Once you’re finished making changes, tap on “Done” in the top right corner of the screen. To change a contact’s nickname in your Phone app settings, open your Settings app and tap on “Phone”. Next, tap on “Contacts”, then scroll down and tap on “Nickname“.
Here, you’ll see a list of all of your contacts with nicknames next to their names. To change a nickname, simply tap on it and enter a new one. When you’re finished making changes, tap on “Done” in the top right corner of the screen.
