How to change the name of your Android phone

android phone name

Every Android phone and tablet has a generic name that matches the model (Pixel 5, Galaxy S20, etc.). This name appears occasionally if you connect other devices to your device. One simple thing you can do to avoid confusion is to rename your device.

A common situation where your device name can come into play is Bluetooth connections.. Let's say you are connecting your phone to your computer, and when searching for nearby devices, the name of your Android appears. If multiple people in your home have the same device, this can be confusing.

It's quick and easy to rename your device. First, swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice depending on the manufacturer of your phone or tablet) to open the notification tone, then tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

open device settings

Next, scroll down and select “About of the phone”. Depending on your device, es posible que deba ir a “System” antes de ver la sección “About of the phone”.

tap on the phone

Look for the option “Device Name” y simplemente tóquela.

tap the name of your device

Alternatively, look for an edit button.

Finally, escriba el nuevo nombre de su teléfono o tableta Android y toque “To accept” O “Keep”.

enter a new name and tap OK

It's as simple as that. Device names don't appear 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.
