First of all: Open app.json file in your react-native project directory. And, just replace displayName json property's value in this file. e.g.:

{
    "name": "SomethingSomething",
    "displayName": "My New App Name"
}

For Android app: Open strings.xml file, replace the tag's value to your new app name. e.g.:

My New App Name

For iOS: Open info.plist, replace the value after CFBundleDisplayName to your app name. e.g.:

CFBundleDisplayName
My New App Name

Uninstall your previous app installed on your device. Use npm install in project main directory, in ios folder directory run pod install commands. Now, simply install app in your device.
