AirPods have become an integral part of many people’s lives over the past few years and it’s not surprising that users often want to customize them. This includes name changes. And in this article, you’ll learn how to change your AirPods name quickly and easily.
AirPods are released by Apple as wireless headphones that can connect to any Apple device via Bluetooth. So it’s easy to change the name from MacBook, iPad, or iPhone.
What causes to rename AirPods
Quite a few reasons can cause a decision to change the name AirPods. One of the hallmarks of AirPods is their unique design on the market, but because so many people have the same model, or when you have two or more pairs of AirPods in your house, there is a chance of confusing your devices.
The same goes for lost AirPods because if you lose the latter, the searching process is going to be easier, and you will find exactly your pair.
And finally, the preservation of identity and creativity. Other users, when searching for Bluetooth pairs, may see your device under an unusual name.
How to change and rename AirPods in a quick way
Before you start changing the name of your AirPods, make sure that your devices (iPhone and AirPods) are next to each other and follow these steps:
- Firstly, AirPods case must be connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth
- Then, open Settings on your iPhone and you’ll see the third line from the top named Bluetooth. Tap on this and you will go directly to the Bluetooth settings. If the slider at the top is gray, be sure to click on it and it should become active
- Then you will also see a list of devices below and AirPods will be among them. On the right side should be the Info icon (i). Click on it and a window with AirPods settings will appear
- At the very top there will be a line with the current AirPods Name. Click on the name to edit it. You can also use emoji to enhance it.
- Then click Done and go back to see the result
In the window with AirPods settings, there is an option not only to edit the name, but you can also enable and disable Automatic Ear Detection. You can also easily configure the microphone and assign functions by double-clicking specific AirPod. Although the settings may differ depending on the AirPods model, the name can be changed and edited either way.
