Realme: Change Your Phone's Device Name

Your Realme phone shows its model number, like realme 7, as the default device name in Bluetooth lists, Wi-Fi Direct, and file-sharing apps. That generic label makes it hard to spot your phone when connecting to speakers, headphones, or other devices nearby. Renaming it to something personal, like TechBone Phone, clears up that confusion right away.

Change Device Name auf Realme

Every Realme phone ships with the model number as its device name, for example realme 7 or realme GT. This name is not just cosmetic. It shows up in Bluetooth device lists, Wi-Fi Direct transfers, hotspot names, and file-sharing apps like Nearby Share, wherever your phone identifies itself to other devices.

The setting lives under system information in Realme UI, not under connectivity settings, which is why many users struggle to find it. To change it, go to SettingsAbout phoneDevice name, then enter a new name and tap Save.

A generic model number gets confusing fast if you own several Realme devices or connect to shared networks often. Giving the phone a personal name, like TechBone Phone, makes it instantly recognizable in pairing menus and shared folders.

Renaming the device does not affect stored data, apps, or accounts. It only changes how the phone presents itself to other devices and apps. If you use the phone mainly for personal use without frequent Bluetooth or file-sharing activity, this setting matters less, but it still helps when troubleshooting connections later.
