About this guide

The device name is what nearby phones, computers and Bluetooth devices see when they find yours.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. We opened Rename device and closed it with the X, so ours kept its name.
