Hey @hugovesi,
I checked in backstage and it looks like you've opted out the Facebook option to process your data from your privacy settings. This will typically hide Facebook name, picture, friends etc.
You can enable 'Facebook data processing' from their privacy settings over here.
It may take up to 48 hours for the change to display itself. Try to log out and log back in every now and then to refresh.
Hope this helps,
Have a wonderful day!

Hey @hugovesi,
As Spotify looks to improve the overall Spotify experience, they’re now automatically generating usernames, hence the random numbers.
Your friends can find you if you share with them a link to your profile. Here's how from the iPhone app:
During signup, you were able to personalize your account by creating a profile name that’s displayed in the app. There’s no limitations to a profile name, so you were able to choose any name you like 🙂
Note: It's not possible to log in with the profile name.
Hi!
Thanks for the answers and the description so far!
My Problem is, my nativ username from the user profil was deletet and replaced with the number, so it looks like that:
Also, when I connect to Facebook, I can choose "selecte/Invite all Facebook Contacts" and it shows "0 contacts found".
It still feels like my acount is somehow "broken".
What do you think?
Hey,
I check this backstage and will get back to you asap!
Sorry for the wait,
Leo
