My iPad shows with a (2)

How do I remove the (2)? I did it years ago with my phone but don't remember how I did it.

Glad that answered your question!

Enjoy your Apple gear.

By the way, the appearance of that “(2)” suggests some former devices with similar names are still associated with your Apple ID. Check Settings > [your Apple ID] and check your list of devices toward the bottom. Remove any devices no longer associated with your Apple ID.

Thanks! I did it years ago with an older iPhone but forgot how I did it.
