No you cannot do it within the Find My. You would have to change the device name individually on each device itself.

Changing Find My Phone Numbers I just added a few AirTags to my find my, and it only shows one of two phone numbers I have on my account (and reachable at on Apple ID). When I travel the one that showed is the phone number I turn off. How can I change the primary phone numbers for find my app?

Unpaired, But Still Showing In Apple ID List Of Devices 🙃 Hi there, I have an old Apple Watch Series 2 that I'm intending to sell. I've successfully unpaired it from my iPhone, so when I go into the Watch app on my iPhone and tap on the My Watch screen, it isn't listed. 👍 When I go into the Find My app on my Mac, the watch isn't listed under Devices. 👍 And when I log into iCloud.com in Safari on my Mac, and go to the Find iPhone page, the watch isn't listed under All Devices. 👍 However... if I go into the Settings app on my iPhone, and go to the Apple ID screen, the watch is still listed in my list of devices. ‼️ And if tap on "Remove from account" I get a message warning me that "Once you have removed this Apple Watch, it can no longer be used to approve new devices, or use iCloud or other Apple services, until you sign in again." So, what am I supposed to do, if I want to sell this watch and give it to a new owner? Thanks for your help. 😊

Change default device for find my location to Apple Watch SE with family setup My child's watch with cellular is setup using Family Sharing settings. However, when using Find My to locate my child, it defaults to their iPad. While I can locate the watch through "devices", how can I set up the watch to be the default device for "people"? I tried to look for an option on the watch to 'enable this device to be the default location' everywhere in settings, but cannot find a way. It seems Family Sharing hides or disables this option from even being seen? Is there a way to change the default device from the family sharing iPad to family sharing Watch? If so how? The help articles linked in other similar posts do not seem to address this specific scenario. Thank you.
