https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/54266/central-client-device-nameI&#39;m writting firmware for a Peripheral Server and wish to display the smart device friendly name that will connect to my nRF52832. Is it possible without addind service/characteristic? I was reading this thread: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordicen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 12 Nov 2019 13:30:51 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/219681?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 12 Nov 2019 13:30:51 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:fa2a46da-a574-4fca-b439-2be644250932Frederic<p>no it&#39;s really the device name I need, like the smart phone name.It&#39;s about informing the user, not to manage who can or can&#39;t connect.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/219675?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 12 Nov 2019 13:23:29 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d66d4297-108f-440e-9903-4fd5369f6483haakonsh<p>The Central does not have a name it has an address. If you want to differentiate who get&#39;s to connect to your peripheral you need to use Whitelisting.
