Are you referring to the app's name that'll be displayed on the phone?

For iOS, you can edit the name directly in XCode. See this answer.

For Android, you can edit the app name in strings.xml file located at android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml.

<string name="app_name">Your app's name</string>
