Hi All,
I’m using my iPhone SE 2020 as a hotspot for my Ipad.
I‘m getting droping connections.
On investigation, it says I have a “common network name”. ok - my phone is called ”iPhone” - the default. Doh!
Whats the best way to change the iPhone name?
The issues I’m seeing is:
1. iTunes back up
- If I change the name on just the phone, does that mean that ITunes will do a new 50Gb backup of the ”New” phone?
- I’m onto my 4th Iphone now, so would appreciate no more Zombie storage using backups etc.
2. Changing Iphone name on ITUNES
- Can I do this? Not sure if I saw an option for this
- What other issues can occur here?
3. Security
- Erm, if I give the phone my name or wording associate with me, am I posting a banner up for hacks, theft etc? (E.g. Chap has left the building to go to his car, but his iPhone is still at his table etc...)
Hope you can advise.
Thanks,
Martin
