"Real name" inconsistencies. Possible privacy issue.

When changing the console's privacy (I have tried to put the surname letter in capital letters) it is not applied directly to the console's home menu.

Where is this change applied then?, since it seems to be different from changing it from the Microsoft account.

I've been using betas for a long time, so I don't know if this is something that happens in stable versions as well, since I'm in beta.

Does any part of Microsoft's terms and conditions force you to use a real name that is visible on the console? If so, I understand one more reason for the lack of content creators.

In the main menus of the Xcloud app on PC, mobile or web, that real name is not visible, only the gamertag.

On mobile, the "real name" is visible if I go to settings.

On the console, this name has not been updated, nor in the Microsoft account https://account.microsoft.com/profile/

I don't know if it must take many minutes or hours to be reflected in those places.

I find it interesting as a quick solution that could be implemented in future updates to be able to:

Add an option to hide the real name in the console interface

Currently real names and surnames are displayed without control on the console's home screen and also in the guide menu. I think it's good that the gamertag is always visible, so I think it's unnecessary to force the real name to be displayed in the interface of a system that we might want to show to someone.

Currently the email can be hidden but not that data, which content creators usually do not want to share either.

I think it would be something quite easy to change and that it would thus favor the creation of content, this may be one more reason why less prepared people do not put real names or do not create content because an application crash, checking a usual menu or another could expose your real identity.
