Realme: Rename a Registered Fingerprint

On a Realme phone every fingerprint you enroll gets a generic label like Finger 1 or Finger 2 by default. Once you have three or four prints stored, that numbering makes it hard to remember which entry belongs to which finger or family member. Giving each print a proper name keeps your fingerprint list readable at a glance.

Rename a Fingerprint auf Realme

Realme UI assigns fingerprints a sequential name the moment you enroll them, so a phone with several unlock methods quickly ends up with entries like Finger 1, Finger 2 and Finger 3. That numbering does not tell you anything about which finger was scanned or who it belongs to on a shared device. Renaming each entry fixes that without affecting how the fingerprint unlocks the phone.

The rename option sits inside the same menu where fingerprints are added and deleted, so no extra permission is needed. You still confirm your screen lock before you can open the fingerprint list, since Realme treats this area as sensitive security settings.

To rename an entry, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Password & biometricsTap on FingerprintChoose a Fingerprint, then Enter a Name and Tap on Save.

Renaming does not change the scan pattern or re-register the print, so unlock speed and accuracy stay the same. This step is purely cosmetic and useful once more than one person or more than one finger uses the same device.

Frequently asked questions

No. Renaming only edits the label shown in the list under Tap on Fingerprint. The stored scan data and unlock behavior stay exactly the same.
