General-about-name

I’ve changed my phone name under General-about-name several times and the name reverts back after a few minutes-how do I get to to permanently change?

Hey saling78


We’d be happy to help out. To get started, if having issues with your device name not staying as you’d expect, try restarting your iPhone 14 Pro and trying again. If that doesn’t help, make sure you’re fully updated. If all else fails, make sure you’re using these steps:

1. Go to Settings  > General > About > Name.
2. Tap the Clear Text button, enter a new name, then tap Done.

This is outlined further here: Change the name of your iPhone - Apple Support


We hope this helps out, but if not, please contact Apple for support here regarding the unexpected behavior: Get Support


Take care!
