In "find my phone," my phone has always been iPhone (2). Recently the number in the parenthesis started increasing and it's now up to iPhone (102). Others in this forum are having the same "incrementing" problem, but I have yet to find an explanation for why this is happening, and how to get it to stop. Can anyone help?
iPhone SE, iOS 15
Find My sees lots of phones called “iPhone”, so it adds a number to differentiate them, and in the order most recently seen. The simple solution is to change the name of your phone to one that is unlikely to be a duplicate. Go to Settings/General/About, where you can edit the phone’s name. You can be creative; for example, my iPhone’s name is “Don’t Panic”.
