How to change Bluetooth name on Android device

Whenever you connect a device via Bluetooth to an Android phone or tablet , the device's model name is what appears on your screen. While this is a good identifier for the device, it may not always be that easy to use. However, there is an option to change this name.

The process for changing your Bluetooth name is simple, but it may vary depending on the Android device you’re using. Generally, you’ll need to go to the “Connected devices” section of the “Settings” menu.

First, swipe down from the top of the screen once or twice and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

Then, tap “Connected devices” from the list.

Things may be a little different here, depending on the manufacturer of your phone or tablet. On some devices, you'll see "Connection Preferences" while on others, you'll see the "Bluetooth" option.

If you select “Connection Preferences”, you will then see “Bluetooth”.

Your device name will appear in your Bluetooth settings. On some devices, you can simply tap the name to change it, while others will require you to open the three-dot menu.

Enter a new device name, then tap “Rename” or “Save.” That’s it. Now, when you try to connect to your Android device, this is the name you’ll see. If you have multiple identical devices in home , changing the name can make it easier to find the right one.
