    Key Highlights

    • Using the device settings, you can easily change the AirDrop name on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac.
    • For iPhone, you can modify the AirDrop name using the Contacts app.

    AirDrop is one of the best and most favorite features for Apple users. With AirDrop, you can easily share media files (images, audio, videos, documents, locations, etc.) with your friends and family without depending on mobile networks. Most users prefer sharing files over AirPlay as it doesn’t compress the quality like social media apps. In addition, you must use a unique name for your device, as it’s vital while sharing and receiving files. Having a similar name among your friends or family can be very difficult to share the files. Therefore, if you have a similar AirDrop name, you must change it so they can easily identify your device to share. You can easily modify the AirPlay name on your Apple device using Settings.
