Guide to Change the Sender Name on Your iPhone Email

METHOD 1

NOTE: To follow the instructions provided below, you will need to have at least two email accounts configured in the Mail application of your iPhone.

On your iPhone, tap on the Mail application from the applications menu.
Once the app gets opened on your iPhone, you will need to compose a new email.
In the email composition screen, you will need to tap on the From field (for example, [email protected]). Doing so will open a drop-down menu on your screen.
From the drop-down menu, you will need to select the email address using which you wish to send the email.
Selecting the email address will display it in the From field. Confirm the action if prompted to do so.
After that, enter the email address of the recipient in the To field and enter the message you wish to send. Then, tap on the Send option to send the email to the recipient from your selected email address.

METHOD 2

NOTE:

In case you have already sent an email to someone from your account, you may not be able to change the way it presents your name. This is generally because the mail application might be having your identity saved in the contact, and may refer to it whenever receiving emails from you.
Also, it should be noticed that when a recipient will click on your name located at the top of the email, they will still be able to see the email address from you which you would have sent the email.

For iPhone or iPad

From the application menu of your iPhone, tap on the Settings option. This will direct you to the Settings section of your iPhone.
Once you are in the Settings section, you will need to tap on the Accounts & Password option.
In the Accounts & Password section of your iPhone, you will need to select the one which you wish to change.
Next, tap on the Account section located at the top of the page.
Then, you will need to enter the desired sender name in the Name field.
Once you are done entering the new name in the Name field, tap on the Done button.
Now, whenever you will send an email, it will display your new name for the new contacts.
