How To Change Bluetooth Name on iPhone [2024]
Happy Monday everyone!
I wanted to put into words how to change the Bluetooth name on iPhone.

Introduction
So you might be wondering: What even is the Bluetooth name on your Apple iPhone? Easy! This is the identifier you see when trying to connect to another Bluetooth device. Essentially, making it the only way to make sure you are connecting to or from the right device.
