Thank you for your help, but malheureusement, it didn’t work this time too. I have already tried this in the past. Are you talking about the AnkiMobile ? Merci beaucoup ( i am trying to practice my FranΓ§ais 😁) ---

You posted this under the AnkiMobile category so I assumed we were talking about the app. If you want do it on your computer simply click the gear wheel next to the decks name and choose _rename_. ---

OK, you are using Ankidroid. You just did it. I don’t understand your dobut. If you are refering to subdecks, you use double colon ("`::`") to make the hierarchy. For example: `Debug::Java` PD: AnkiMobile refers to the iPhone app, not the Android app which is built by independent team of volunteers. ---

If this is an iPad you probably have to do the long press so there is no gear for the function you are looking for ```auto ``` [Next page](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/how-to-rename-a-deck/2791.md?page=2)
