Personalization is an important aspect for many users on Android. This customization does not only refer to the wallpaper, the launcher used or the appearance of the phone in general. It also refers to having some additional options, which allow you to customize or adjust the use of the phone to the specific user.

An option in this regard is the possibility of renaming the applications. Android does not have a native way to do this, which allows you to change the name of an application on the phone. This is an option that is usually reserved for root users, although luckily, for those who do not have root, there is a method.

Launchers to rename your applications


The option of renaming your Android applications can be useful in many cases, such as when you have duplicate applications, to clearly differentiate between them, for example. For many users in the operating system it is somewhat desirable, although the system does not bring this function natively. The good part is that we can use third-party tools for this.

We can use third-party launchers that allow us to do this. A large number of launchers give us this possibility, including popular options such as Nova Launcher, one of the most used. So if you have a third-party launcher on your phone, you probably have this option. The steps to follow in Nova Launcher are:

  1. Open the launcher on the phone.
  2. Press and hold on the application whose name you want to change.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Change the name of the application.
  5. Click OK to confirm the change.
It is a very simple way to personalize the phone, which can help to make it more comfortable to use in many situations. Both for those users who have duplicate applications, and those who seek to facilitate the use of the phone for people who have not yet mastered the use of a smartphone. Since you can substitute names for words that clearly indicate what the application is used for, for example.
