How to update a Bluetooth device's name on iPhone Settings list after a rename via an App

Hello,

Our device firmware has a companion iOS app that allows a user to rename it. We are connected to the iPhone via BT Classic. The new name is reflected on the app, however, the iPhone BT device list still shows the old name. It doesn't seem to get updated to the new name unless we unpair/re-pair the device to the phone.

Is there a way to get the iPhone to update to the new name in the Settings BT device list without unpairing the device? Is this possible in BT Classic?

Thanks.

This is probably due to some sort of caching of the device properties somewhere. Perhaps rebooting the device would help too?

In any case, this sounds like something the Bluetooth team should look at. Best would be to file a bug report about this.

Don't forget to include as much information as you can about the cases you see this problem with.
