How do you set the device name on a iPhone? It's straightforward on an Android phone, but I cannot find it on the iPhone.

Square pulls the name from iOS directly: whatever you've named your phone is what the device name will read on Square reports.

 

To change it, in iOS settings, choose General, then Name.

@ED2023 ;

Setup a Device Code and give the Device a Nick Name.  Here is how to do it:

I had mine setup by Ipad Names and then one update they were both Ipads, and I found this and set up my Devices with a code and nickname.
