Actual name being shared on xbox messages.

SoColdHearted · Jun 10, 2020

PSA: Recently it seems xbox has included the "how you look" information entered by users as part of thier account setup into messages sent between players. This now appears after your Gamertag. On the app especially it seems many people put their real
name and it's now being shared regardless of you privacy settings for your actual first and last name. Please be aware and change this under you account profile privacy and online safety if you don't want your name shared without permission.

Yes just change this setting in the privacy settings, I also had to do this myself.

it appears to crash while still in the black screen with the logo and no message. i did notice a background process for xbox that shared the same logo for the app. so now idk if its actually crashes or being forced into a background process.
