Using iOS 18.2. Done is greyed out IF Custom Name is selected! Done is active if the originally selected name is still shown in the list, allowing the new name to be typed in! In other words, if you SELECT ‘Custom Name’ you can’t change to a custom name. If you don’t change to ‘Custom Name’ you can.
AirTag
Just verified with my iPhone SE 3, running iOS 18.2:
To change the AirTag's name:
If that doesn't work, try selecting one of provided names first and verify that it is renamed to that choice. Once verified, try Custom Name again.
I found a workaround if you have fast fingers: Select one of the standard items and enter the desired name for your custom item. Next, use the control to select Custom Name. Then, as you lift your finger off of Custom Name quickly tap the Done button before it is deactivated. You may need to select one of the standard names such that your finger is very close to the Done button when you lift it off of the Custom Name item. Or else just use a different finger to immediately tap Done when you lift the other finger from Custom Name.
No and no. The standard method doesn't work, and if you change the name of a standard item then the field gets blanked out as soon as you change to Custom Name. iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Works perfectly fine on my airtags.
I go on the modify page and type in the box or remove a letter and the done becomes active.
With 'Custom Name' selected?
On an iPhone using iOS 18.2?
Same issue with iOS 18.1.1. Just updated to 18.2 and same thing. A possible workaround is to remove and reinstall the AirTag, though I haven't tried this yet.
