Can a peripheral device read the device name of the smartphone (central device) that is connected to it

I develop the peripheral BLE device. I need to read the complete local name of the smartphone, which connected to the peripheral. Is it possible?

Hi

Please check out this thread, where my colleague Vidar suggests a way to discover and read the device name from the connected phone.

Best regards,

Does it mean that for read characteristics of the smartphone - the peripheral device should become a central for the time? And after these operations, it should back to peripheral?
