“#How to Change Your Android Phone\u2019s Name”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Android phone and tablet has a generic name that matches the model (Pixel 5, Galaxy S20, etc). This name occasionally app<\/a>ears if you connect other devices to your device. A simple thing you can do to avoid confusion is to change your device\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

A common situation in which your device\u2019s name may come into play is Bluetooth connections. Say you\u2019re connecting your phone to your computer, and when you scan for nearby devices, your Android\u2019s name appears. If multiple people in your house have the same device, this can be confusing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quick and easy to change your device\u2019s name.\u00a0First, swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice depending on your phone or tablet\u2019s manufacturer) to open the notification shade, then tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.<\/p>\n

\"open<\/p>\n

Next, scroll down and select \u201cAbout Phone.\u201d Depending on your device, you may have to go to \u201cSystem\u201d before you see the \u201cAbout Phone\u201d section.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Find the \u201cDevice Name\u201d option and simply tap it.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Alternatively, look for an edit button.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Lastly, type in the new name for your Android phone or tablet and tap \u201cOK\u201d or \u201cSave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"enter<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as simple as that. Device names don\u2019t come up in many situations, but it can still be useful to give yours a more specific name. Hopefully, this will help clear up any confusion when connecting devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
