For many years you have been using an Apple device but you might not know all its details. I recently had to access Find my iPhone and I realized that my device did not have an appropriate name. They were simply called iPhone or Alltop9’s Apple Watch. So, I decided to modify them and make them all homogeneous. Here’s guide on how to change the name of your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, iWatch, AirPods or any Apple device.
Steps to Change the Name to the Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, iWatch, AirPods & All
In this article, we will see how to change our Apple devices name to our required name. To change your Apple device name follow the steps below.
How to change the name to a Mac
Changing the name to a Mac is quite simple. To do this, we only have to access System Preferences> Share. There you can see a field with the “Name of the computer”. Click on Edit and put the name that you want and then save the changes.
After editing the name, the modified name of your Mac will be shown on the shared network and other places like Find my iPhone.

The alternative method is to access Settings> General> About and edit the Name of the iPhone or iPad. In addition to changing in Search for my iPhone, the name of the network created when you share the internet from this device will be modified.
