How to Change Bluetooth Name on Samsung Smartphone
In the pre-smartphone era, Bluetooth was commonly used for file transfer, including MP3 files. Many mobile phone users used Bluetooth to exchange their favorite songs with each other. At that time, Bluetooth was considered a lifesaver, as it was faster and more efficient for file sharing compared to infrared technology.
Bluetooth remains one of the most essential features on smartphones today. While some users may already know how to use it, others might still struggle with certain tasks, such as renaming their Bluetooth device.
This can be confusing, especially when sending files—if the Bluetooth name isn’t clear, users might accidentally select the wrong device and send files to someone else.
To help with this, Carisinyal will guide you through the steps to rename Bluetooth on Samsung phones. Follow the detailed instructions below.
1. Go to About Phone Menu

Renaming Bluetooth on Samsung phones is simple—all you need to do is access the About Phone menu. Start by opening Settings through the App Drawer or Quick Settings, then scroll down until you find the About Phone option.
Here, you’ll see your device name clearly displayed. What’s interesting is that this name isn’t just used for Bluetooth—it’s also applied in features like Quick Share and Wi-Fi Direct.
2. Rename Device
Below the device name, you’ll find an “Edit” button. Tap it to rename your device. For example, the Carisinyal team initially named their device “My Samsung Phone,” but later changed it to “Carisinyal Phone.”
Once you’ve entered the new name, tap the “Done” button to save the changes. As mentioned earlier, this updated name will now appear for Bluetooth connections and other external device connections, such as Quick Share or Wi-Fi Direct.
3. Review Updated Name

Now, you can verify whether the Bluetooth name on your device has been successfully updated. To do this, try connecting your Samsung phone to another Bluetooth-enabled device, such as a smartphone or laptop.
For example, I’ll demonstrate by connecting the renamed phone to another device, which we’ll call “Second Phone.” Follow these steps:
- Turn on Bluetooth on both devices.
- On the second phone, tap "Scan" to search for available devices.
- Check if your device name appears correctly on the second phone.
If the name is correct, the Bluetooth renaming was successful! Now, you won’t have to worry about selecting the wrong device when connecting to others.
That wraps up Carisinyal’s guide on how to change the Bluetooth name on Samsung phones. Pretty simple, right?
