How to change iPhone name?

Hi, In my iPhone 12 settings and on my Apple ID webpage my device name shows as “Peter’s iPad” and under it “(iPhone 12)”. Is there any way I can change “iPad” to read “iPhone”? Thank you.

Yes you can. To change the name of your iPhone, which is used by iCloud, AirDrop, your Personal Hotspot, and your computer. Go to Settings > General > About > Name. , enter a new name, then tap Done.


Make sure to restart your device once.
