Why Can’t I Change the Name of my AirPods
There are a few reasons why you might not be able to change the name of your AirPods:
Your AirPods might not be connected to an iOS device or a Mac. Make sure that your AirPods are connected to one of these devices before trying to rename them.
You might not have the latest version of iOS or macOS. To rename your AirPods, you need to have iOS 10.3 or later, or macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later. It’s a good idea to keep your software up to date anyway, so make sure that you have the latest versions of iOS and macOS installed.
You might not be logged in with an Apple ID. In order to rename your AirPods, you need to be logged in with an Apple ID. If you’re not sure if you’re logged in with an Apple ID, try going to Settings > iCloud and see if your name or email address is listed at the top. If not, tap on the Sign In button and enter your Apple ID credentials.
If you’re still having trouble changing the name of your AirPods, contact Apple Support for help.
