I have set my new name everywhere I can in the AppleID settings but the old name is still showing up in this place, and maybe in other places which I haven’t seen yet. But how can I get my chosen name to show up here?

(for clarity, this is the profile picture selection on iPadOS)

Solution: The solution for me was that I had to change my name in the contacts.

    If anyone ever figures this out for your Steam account (not the gamertag, which can be changed), lmk, I’m in a similar boat.

      On Steam, click your username in the top bar, and select “profile” from the dropdown menu. On the profile page, there’s an “edit profile” button near the top right corner, underneath your level. In the “General” tab, the field “real name” should be the second one down

        Oh, I meant the underlying account name itself. The account that you log in with if you don’t use a QR code.

          steam has changed people’s login names when they cited the fact it contains their deadname and they want it changed. so contact their support about it

            Steam support is really really good. They’ve helped me on multiple occasions.

          Currently, there are no way to change it. I know the pain, I have a almost two decade old cringeworthy name.
