How to change iPhone name? By default, the name assigned to the iPhone by iOS is “iPhone” but this denomination can be changed as desired by going to Settings > General > Info > Name. The name assigned to the iPhone is used by iCloud (it is the one used, for example, to identify the device), by AirDrop (it is the one used when we send a document, image or other file to the phone), in “Personal Hotspot” (the name that we see in the list of WiFI networks), from CarPlay (it’s what appears in the vehicle the first time we set up CarPlay).

In addition to changing the name of the device directly from the iPhone, it is possible to do it from the Finder (with the most recent versions of macOS) or from iTunes after connecting the device to the computer with the USB cable. After connecting the device, select the iPhone from the Finder or from iTunes: from the “General” section it is possible to view and change the name of the device.
If you only have one device, you probably don’t care much about changing the name of the iPhone; if, on the other hand, you have multiple devices, a name or a nickname will allow you to better distinguish one from the other. The name is also useful for those who send various elements with AirDrop, to immediately understand which one to select in the list that is presented to you with AirDrop active.
