After this, clear that name, type in a new name of your liking, and then tap on done.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/do-airpods-work-with-android\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/do-airpods-work-with-android\/\" target=\"_blank\">Android<\/a> device and wondering how to change AirPods name in Android, there is one overall method that will pretty much work with any Android device, regardless of the brand or model. Yes, you can change your AirPods name on an Android device by going into your Bluetooth settings. You do not have to worry, you can change the default name of AirPods directly via the Bluetooth settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple will assign the default name for a plugged-in AirPods when pairing it to an iOS device for the first time. When you first configure AirPods and pair AirPods with your phone, they are assigned a default name depending on which device you are pairing them to. The next time you connect and pair the AirPods with a Mac computer, you will see that your AirPods have their assigned names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you purchase a new pair of AirPods, Apple attempts to give you the benefit of the doubt by creating a name for it. If you own an Apple device, you can use that to rename the AirPods, which will show up with the new name on your Chromebook as well. As with other devices, such as iPhones, you can rename the AirPods to whatever you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AirPods will now use the name you specified, and you will instantly see that name show up across all of your other Apple devices. The updated AirPods name should show up on your other Apple devices, too, so there is no need to repeat this process everywhere. The process is very fast, and users who may be looking to tweak things quite a bit might actually get confused by how to go back and update the new set of AirPods names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Apples own devices to do renaming is the only way to make sure that their new name appears across devices. Completing the rename process does indeed require that both their AirPods or AirPods Pro and their owners iPhone are turned on and connected, so having one of those devices die is a deal-breaker. That is why renaming devices such as their AirPods is useful to make sure they are never mixed up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>How do I change <\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Must Do<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Factory Reset<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Apple ID<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Remove your Apple ID<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Will Prepare<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Connect to the new owner&#8217;s device.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How do I change the owner of AirPods?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Naming is usually a non-issue, but if you have multiple Bluetooth items connected to your iPhone or iPad, you may need to rename the AirPods. If you have multiple Bluetooth devices connected, you may have to scroll down to locate your AirPods. Head into Settings, then Bluetooth, and locate your AirPods Pro in the list of devices that are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/gmail-not-working-on-iphone-13\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24231\">Gmail Not Working On Iphone 13<\/a> then you can check that article.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Head into your Bluetooth menu, then press the blue info icon next to your<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT207009\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT207009\" target=\"_blank\"> AirPods<\/a>.

Make your AirPods yours by changing its name using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that is plugged in. Giving your AirPods custom names can make it easier to select from a device list each time you use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/ipad-drawing-stand\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24009\">Ipad Drawing Stand<\/a> then you can check that article.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you have come up with a better name later on, you can always go back and rename the buds any way you like. You do not even have to connect your AirPods to mess around with names. You can change your headsets displayed name even in Android and Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While my Mac and Apple TV kept their default names, the earbuds automatically switched back to the Chriss AirPods once I connected them back to my iPhone. Your earbuds will now retain their default name, even when you plug them in and out from any iCloud-enabled devices. To make sure your new name sticks, go back to your list of Bluetooth devices and look for your AirPods new name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods renaming function works with any Bluetooth devices connected to your Windows 10 PC &#8211; it is just not specific to AirPods. Because AirPods are a part of Apples ecosystem (and none of AirPods alternatives are), you can rename your AirPods with just a few simple steps. Upon initial pairing, AirPods will take on a registered name for the device with which it is paired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the AirPods are first connected to the device, they adopt the name of the device they are connected to. If you have purchased the AirPods from someone else, you may see the name of the previous owner while using them. To change the name associated with your AirPods, you will have to change the property. To transfer ownership, you will have to forget about the device, then do a factory reset of the AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To transfer ownership of the<a href=\"https:\/\/smarthomestarter.com\/how-do-i-transfer-ownership-of-my-apple-airpods\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/smarthomestarter.com\/how-do-i-transfer-ownership-of-my-apple-airpods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> connected<\/a> AirPods, you need to perform a factory reset on your AirPods, forgetting about AirPods from your phone, and removing the Apple ID from them, making them ready to be paired with a new owners device. Stolen AirPods can be synced with another iPhone, provided that AirPods are not within range of your iOS device. Also, a person who stole them could easily sync AirPods to his or her iPhone, making it more difficult for them to track down using your device. Having a custom name for your AirPods still helps keep the list of Bluetooth devices on your PC organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_change_the_owner_of_AirPods\"><\/span>How do I change the owner of AirPods?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You must perform a factory reset on your AirPods, remove your Apple ID from them, and forget the AirPods from your phone to transfer ownership of them.
