iMore Question

AirDrop spelled my name wrong - seems autocorrected.

When people receive an emailed that I have sent through airdrop (e.g., forwarding an on line recipe) the send is a bastardized (well, looks like autocorrected) version on my last name. Pls, how do I correct it?

Hello

If you are sending stuff over airdrop on a device (iPhone, iPad, iTouch) go to settings --> general --> About and in the Name area, well, write your name correctly.

If from a Mac go to system preferences -->sharing --> computer name and type how you want your computer to be seen/named.

That's it!

Have a good day :)
