Changing my AirDrop name

I have tried changing my name in CONTACT and Setting- General-About- Name on my device, basically every where I can try. It still won't show the name I changed to when I AirDrop files from my iPad to my iPhone.


Please help!



iPhone 7, iOS 11

It should change when you go into Settings-General-About-Name. Maybe It takes a while? It worked for me.
