Custom iPhone device name not respected by NextDNS app
Setting a custom iPhone name in the settings is not used by the Nextdns app in the logs and it appears as the default name.

Came here to report the exact same problem. I'm kinda worried that the app won't receive a timely update, because as it has been said here already, the last app update was from a year ago. Seems abandoned to me

If I look at the screenshots I am not sure you guys are following the right process.
NextDNS doesn't pickup your iPhone name within iOS settings.
Your device name must be filled in within NextDNS settings, we screenshot.

Pierre Cartier Looking at your screenshot and reply, you don't understand what this issue is about, no offense.
In the past the iOS app absolutely did pick up the correct device name, hence the setting in the iOS app "Send Device Name". It lost this ability somewhere down the road, probably with the release of iOS 16.
What you are referring to is a custom configuration name, "iPhone" in your case, which has nothing to do with OPs or my problem described.

Michael Roesch Sorry I didn't notice you were using NextDNS app that I do not use. So if the problem is coming from the application you might want to use NextDNS address with your device name in it as a workaround...? I am managing 5 profils /devices like that with no issue.

@mike_brust You should remove your device serial from the screenshot

I am seeing the same behavior. The Device list just says "iPhone 12" instead of the device's assigned name. Considering there are multiple iPhone 12s on my network, this is less than ideal.

Sadly a 'known issue' I reported back when on iOS16 Beta.
iOS 16 Beta isn't using device name - Bug Reports - NextDNS Help Center -
