My Question or Issue

I want to change the name I see when connected to Bluetooth. It’s highlighted in green with the Bluetooth symbol and my name. I want to use my actual name. How can I do that? Change my billing name? If so, how do I do that?!

Hey @Cat400,

Thanks for reaching out.

Can you please post a screenshot of where you're seeing this? Just make sure to censor your name 🙂

 It’s the green Bluetooth symbol. My male is next to it, and it’s what I assume my billing name. 

Thanks for your reply!

[Cat400]

That is …. my *name* is next to it!

Hey @Cat400,

Thanks for the screenshot! 🙂

The name you're seeing there is actually the name that is being transmitted from the bluetooth device your phone is connected to. It's not a value that can be set or changed within Spotify directly.

I hope this clears things up!

Maxim, thanks so much for your assistance. The device my phone is connected to is not my WiFi. Where else might I look?

Hey @Cat400,

Thanks for getting back.

The device seems to be connected to your phone directly via Bluetooth, so no WiFi connection is needed or in between it.

What kind of device is it that your phone is connected to? Is it a speaker? Is it your car? Any additional info could be helpful.

Maxim, you have the patience of a saint. Thanks for leading me to this. I just got some high end hearing aids for my tinnitus and *they* are listing as the name I don’t want! Heading to the reps there to fix it. Thanks a million times.

Glad to hear you were able to figure it out! 🙂 I hope they'll be able to change it for you.

Have a great day!
