iPad name showing incorrectly in iCloud (appears as “myname’s iPhone”)

Hi,

I bought iPad Air two weeks ago and set it up with my iCloud account. I just noticed in the iCloud section that both of my devices are showing with the same name. I changed my iPad Air’s name from Settings > General > About > Name, and it shows correctly on the device. However, in my Apple ID / iCloud account, it still appears as “myname’s iPhone” instead of the new name (myname’s iPad Air).

  • I already renamed it in settings.
  • The correct name appears locally on the iPad.
  • Only in iCloud / Apple ID it shows the wrong name.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so iCloud displays the updated name?

Thanks in advance!

iPhone 15, iOS 18
