AirDrop is a great feature on Apple devices that allows you to instantly transfer documents, images, and more from device to device instantly using Wi-Fi.
Transferring files this way has many advantages - it's quicker, requires fewer steps, and, perhaps most importantly, doesn't degrade the quality of any media that is sent.
In order to transfer files using AirDrop, the person sending it has to select a name on their screen from a list of potential nearby devices. If you don't have an easily recognizable name, it can complicate the process.
Fortunately, you can easily change your AirDrop name from your iPhone's settings menu by changing your device's name. So whether you want to make your phone easier to recognize, or you just want to make it something funny to make people laugh, the process is very simple.
Here's how to do it.
