It is very likely that you have several Android devices, all of them linked to the same Google account. When you want to download applications to your mobile, Google Play asks you to choose the device in question, although they usually show the serial name of the phone, which is not always intuitive for users. Luckily, we can change it.
This is a problem, since many times we downloaded an app on the wrong device. The good news is that in Google Play, as well as in other Google tools (Assistant or Find Device), we can change the name of the mobile, so that it is easy to identify it at all times.
How to make a family group on Google PlayIf you want to share the applications and games you buy with others, to make it cheaper, in Google Play you can create a family group.

By having these devices synchronized with your Google account, you will not have to change it for other tools or applications of the firm, such as Assistant or Find My Device. We are given the possibility to put the name we want, how to simply put the mobile model, so that we will be able to recognize it more simply, whether when we download an app or when using some apps or tools.
To change that name, we can do it from the Google Play settings, on the computer, which will be more comfortable for everyone. We just have to follow these steps:

Thanks to these steps, we can identify said mobile in a much simpler way in any Google application or service, because all of them are synchronized with our Google account. So if we want to install an application from Google Play on the computer, check the Google Assistant settings or we have lost the phone and we want to use tools such as Find My Device, we can see the phone with the name we have established.
By having each of the devices with its own name or a code name that you have given yourself, it will be easier to use these services of the firm. Whenever you want to change the name of a device, be it a mobile, watch or a Chromebook, you will only have to follow the steps that we have shown above.
