I just recently switched iPhones. When I purchase an app on my new iphone, the receipt still shows "Purchased From" and my old iPhone name. How can I change this?

Thank you

Did you restore your new iPhone from a backup of your old one?

If so, it transferred your old one's name with it.

Go to Settings -> General -> About -> Name and change it to what you want.

Yes, I changed it to my new name already, however it still is showing I am purchasing it from my old iPhone even when I am using my new device.
