How to Change Your iPhone Display Name from “Master” Back to Normal
Have you ever made a playful change to your iPhone’s settings only to realize later that it’s become a source of embarrassment? If you’ve found yourself in a situation similar to mine, you’re not alone! Many of us have made lighthearted modifications to our devices in the past, and now, as adults, we’re left wondering how to revert those changes.
A Humorous Choice Turns Awkward
Around 15 years ago, I thought it would be amusing to have my iPhone refer to me as “Master.” It was a lighthearted joke back in the day—imagine Siri saying, “Where would you like to go, Master?” It was all in good fun, but fast forward to today, and now that I’ve got responsibilities and a family, it’s no longer as amusing.
Every time I share a note or send a message, the name “Master” pops up, and it feels increasingly inappropriate. The last thing I want is for people to think I’m trying to adopt some grandiose title.
How to Change Your Name Back
If you find yourself in a similar bind and want to change your name back to something more suitable, the process is quite simple. Follow these steps:
-
Open Your Contacts App: Start by launching the Contacts app on your iPhone.
-
Select Your Profile: Scroll through your list and find your contact card. It’s typically labeled with your name.
-
Edit Your Details: Tap on “Edit” in the upper right corner of the screen.
-
Change Your Name: Here, you can modify the name displayed. Erase “Master” and replace it with your actual name or whatever you prefer.
-
Save Changes: Don’t forget to hit “Done” in the upper right corner to save your modifications.
Conclusion
With just a few taps, you can free yourself from that playful moniker. It’s a relief to know that when I share my notes (or anything else), I won’t be haunted by my teenage sense of humor. So, if you’ve made a similar quirky choice, don’t hesitate to update your settings—you’ll be glad you did!
