OnePlus: Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device

If you pair several Bluetooth devices with your OnePlus phone, the connection list quickly becomes confusing. Some earbuds, trackers or car kits only show up with a generic model code or their MAC address instead of a proper name. That makes it hard to tell which entry belongs to which device when you want to connect or disconnect something fast.

Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device auf OnePlus

OnePlus phones list every paired Bluetooth device under a name that the device itself broadcasts. Cheaper accessories, older headsets or generic trackers often send only a model code or their MAC address instead of a readable label. Once you pair more than two or three devices, telling them apart in the connection menu becomes guesswork.

Android and Oxygenos let you override that broadcast name with a label of your own choice. This local nickname is stored on your phone only and does not change anything on the accessory itself. If you reset the accessory or pair it with another phone, the original name shows up again there.

How to rename a paired device

Open the Open the SettingsTap on Bluetooth & device connectionTap on BluetoothOpen the device´s settingsTap on EditEnter a name and tap on Rename.

The device only needs to appear in your paired list, it does not have to be actively connected while you rename it. If the option is missing, disconnect the accessory and reconnect it once before trying again.

Frequently asked questions

No. The new name is stored locally on your OnePlus phone under Bluetooth settings. If you pair the same accessory with another device, it will show up with its original broadcast name there.
