How to rename a bluetooth device (not the fake instructions that don't work)

Apple has had these bogus instructions up for many moons:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205348

These instructions do not work. Only 4% of people marked that page as useful. That's lower than public approval of congress. That means it needs attention Apple.

So, not the fake instructions that don't, won't, and never have worked, how do you rename a bluetooth device?

Rename Bluetooth Device I saw a post from April 27, 2020 saying they couldn’t rename any Bluetooth devices on their iPhone and said there is no "name" option for the device in Bluetooth info settings…only options to “forget” and “disconnect”. I was having that same problem but found a solution. That post wasn’t allowing any more comments or answers so I thought I would post here. Turns out you must be connected to the device in order to rename it. Simple as that! Settings —> Bluetooth —> Connect to the device you want to rename —> click the i in the circle (info) —> The name of the device will be displayed…Click on it to rename it.
