How To Rename Bluetooth Devices on iPhone & iPad (iOS 14)

Another hidden feature available in iOS 14 provides the option to rename a Bluetooth device that connects to your iPhone or iPad. This is a highly welcomed addition because it helps you to easier differentiate between devices.

Default names don't giveaway to much and you can easily confuse them, especially if the Bluetooth loudspeaker, headset or other device doesn't connect automatically.

You can change the name of a Bluetooth device in iOS 14 in the Settings app. As detailed in this step-by-step tutorial.

Hi everyone and welcome to the iPhoneTricks.org YouTube channel. In today's episode I'll show you how to rename the Bluetooth devices that are connected to your iPhone. This is a new iOS 14 feature. So, let's dive right into it.

First, we have to open the Settings app. Tap on 'Bluetooth' and check out the list with all devices that have been paired with your iPhone. The ones that are connected at the moment are labeled with a 'Connected' tag. Only connected devices can be renamed!

Tap the blue 'i' icon, available next to the 'Connected' label. Next, tap on the 'Name' field. Use the backspace to delete the devices's default name. In this tutorial I'm changing the name of my Bluetooth loudspeaker that I use in the yard. That's why I used, 'Yard speaker' in this video. Tap 'Back' and you're done.

Tip: When choosing a new name, use something suggestive that will help you to easily recognize the specific device in the Bluetooth list.

If you check the My Devices list in the Bluetooth section, you'll see that's much easier to recognize your device when the name is customized.

I suggest you to rename all devices.

Important: The Bluetooth device has to be in range and connected with the iPhone for the renaming feature to work! Else you only get the 'Forget This Device' option.
