How to change the name of my iPad in Find My? On the Find My app, I have my iPhone, my AirPods, and my iPad. The first two are named correctly but for some reason my iPad is named iPhone. Thus I have two iPhone entries on Find My. How can I change what it is called? TIA [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to change the name of a device in Find My Mac Right now, you have to be in possession of the device to change its name. This should really be decoupled. If a device is stolen, I'd like to mark it as stolen and give it a different name. I don't want to refer to each new device with a suffix (eg. `-YY-MM`). How can this be accomplished today?
