You can give your AirPods a different name if you had already named them before. Also, if they’re still using the default name, you can change it to a custom name, one that is unique.
You’d want to do this to avoid confusing your AirPods with those of your friends, family or other people in your circle.
Now don’t worry Android users, if you own a pair of AirPods, you can still use the Android phone to rename them.
