&lt;p&gt;Please aware that to be able to advertise as an iBeacon you need to follow Apple&amp;#39;s iBeacon standard. Please have a look at&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/43401/how-to-detect-nrf52-beacon-as-ibeacon-using-ble_app_beacon-example"&gt; this case.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you simply want to remove the name in your blinky application advertising packet, you can just change this line in&amp;nbsp;advertising_init() :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; advdata.name_type&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; advdata.name_type&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; =&amp;nbsp;BLE_ADVDATA_NO_NAME;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
