Huawei: Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device

Bluetooth headphones or speakers often show up in your paired devices list with nothing but a cryptic model number. Once you have paired several accessories on your Huawei phone, telling them apart becomes guesswork. A custom name for each device fixes this without any extra app.

Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device auf Huawei

Paired Bluetooth accessories often register on your Huawei phone using a generic Bluetooth name burned into the device firmware, like a chipset code or a short model number. When you pair several accessories - earbuds, a smartwatch, a car kit - the device list in EMUI shows these codes side by side and gives you no context about which one is which.

EMUI lets you assign a custom label to every paired device without breaking the Bluetooth connection. The name only changes how the device appears in your Bluetooth list; it does not affect pairing keys, audio codecs, or battery reporting.

To rename a paired device, go to Open the SettingsTap on BluetoothOpen the menu of the paired deviceTap on RenameEnter a name and tap OK. The new name is stored locally on your phone and does not sync to other devices signed into the same account.

If the device still shows the old name on your car display or a second phone, that is expected: each device stores its own label for the same accessory. Renaming only helps you tell devices apart on the phone where you made the change.

Frequently asked questions

No. Renaming only changes the display label. The pairing key, audio profile, and connection stay the same.
