Ipad Iphone location

My son has an ipad that we have on our on our Family Sharing and find my iphone. He recently got a new iphone and is logged in with his own apple id. On his iphone we have enabled Family Sharing. When I look on my phone 'Find my Iphone' - his name still comes up as 'Blake's iPad' whereas his phone is called Blakes Iphone 8. I have selected for Location 'Show this Device' however it still brings up the ipad?? I'm so confused. Please help.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

You probably need to change the device that your son’s location is being shared from.


Change your sharing device

To change the device that you're sharing your location from, open Find My on the device from which you want to share. Select the Me tab, then choose Use this [device] as My Location.


See Find people and share your location with Find My - Apple Support. Good luck!
