I have 2 mobiles linked to My o2. I previously had a iPhone 7 & a Microsoft 950 XL linked to o2.

Now I changed my iPhone 7 to a iPhone xs but for whatever reason the iPhone 7 still shows in my o2. What can I do for my iPhone xs to show instead of my old iPhone 7

Hi everyone, I've double checked on my end whether My O2 automatically detects a new device or not and when, and received the following information: 

 

My O2 should automatically pull the device name data through within 28 days of an upgrade. However you can update this information manually in My O2 if required, as explained above slight_smile

 

Thanks to all of you for the replies and suggestions so far, and I hope this helps!

Does it update if the device is brought from elsewhere?
So if I decided to get the OP6+, but got it from Amazon or OP, would My o2 pick that up @EmilieT?

My Note 8 didn't @gmarkj

It was bought from Amazon. I had to add it myself.

 

Prior to this my 2 previous phones (Note 3 and Note 4) were bought sim free and unlocked and neither from O2....and those two DID update...

Did you wait the 28 days that Emilie mentions @Cleoriff?

Ah. So completely failed then.
Must away to check mine really (not that it's terribly important...)

Mine didn’t update either despite waiting around 6 months.

I think it's a recent change to the system (or a glitch)

As I said, neither of my previous phones were bought from O2 and they updated within a week or so after  I changed over...

Last Christmas phone didn’t update but I seem to recall switching phones myself around November 2017 which did update so I’d guess at a change around 12 months ago.

Many thanks for everyone's replies. I have attempted to change /add my new iphone xs in Myo2 but it still shows as a iPhone 7, so I've given up trying to remedy the issue.
