Can i name my phone?

[xxx JeNeSaisQuoi xxx]

Hey guys,
I have been looking for the "name your device" option. I was able to do it on my Galaxy S4, but there seems to be no way to do this with the S6 edge+. Does anyone know anything about it, one way or the other? Thanks in advance.

My first Samsung device, (s6 edge+), can you tell me where the name you input will appear? Lock screen, elsewhere or not show up at all, unless you look in, settings, system, about device, name?
It would be great if it appears on the lock screen like my other phones. I was able to put my name and advise that I'm a Type 1 diabetic, handy in an emergency medical situation. Thanks...

"Device names are shown to distinguish each of the devices available via bluetooth wifi direct, wifi, and other methods" So if your phone is connected to another device it will be listed on that device by the name you gave it. You can display the name of your device on the lock screen if you like, (and medical conditions) but it's not the name of the device, it's whatever you want it to be. Settings/Personal/LockScreen and Security/Show Information/Owner Information and type in what you want displayed and hit "Done." ie. Mary Poppins Type 1 Diabetic, don't resuscitate.

Thanks Matt, that helps me a lot. It's pretty much the same as my previous devices I've had over the years, should have dug a little deeper into the Settings. As a side, for myself, being diabetic, I want to be resuscitated,that's the whole idea of having that on my lock screen...

No problem at all, some of us enjoy digging ! After all, that's what these forums are for.
