Hi iain115,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! The name should automatically update in the Find My app. You can troubleshoot the app itself by closing it out completely and relaunch it.
To close the app:
Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
Hope that helps!

Hey there iain115,
Let's ensure these steps are being followed when changing the names of your devices.
Change the name of your iPhone
If so, the renamed device may need to be restarted to initiate the change. If more help is needed, you may want to contact Apple Support for more help.
Have a good one!
Hi thanks for replying
i tried what you said to no avail. I have checked the settings on my iPhone and the name I need to change is under device info but I don’t know how to amend. Can you help?
Brilliant - all sorted now.
iain115,

Take care.
