Here’s How To Change Your AirDrop Name On iPhone

To change your AirDrop name, you must change your iPhone’s name from the About section in the Settings app. Follow the steps below.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and select General.
3. At the top of the following menu, tap on About.
4. In the About menu, hit Name at the top.
5. Use the keyboard to edit your iPhone’s AirDrop name. If you haven’t changed it before or didn’t set your iPhone’s name at all, consider including something unique, admire your name. For instance, I have set my iPhone name to “Shikhar’s iPhone 13,” as it has both my first name and my iPhone’s model.
6. Once you’ve made the changes, hit the done button on the keyboard.

Now, whenever someone shares photos or videos via AirDrop, ask them to look for the updated name; the files should come straight to you. Once you change your iPhone’s name, Apple will use it for Bluetooth, hotspots, iCloud, and Find My. However, this doesn’t change your contact card details.
