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:


  1. From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom pausing in the middle.
  2. Swipe left or right to locate the Find my app preview
  3. Swipe up on the preview to close out the app


Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


Hope that helps!
