Username in playlist showing mix of letters and numbers instead of name

Solved!

Username in playlist showing mix of letters and numbers instead of name

Logged in using my facebook account. 

 

On top left corner in the app I can see my full name and FB profile picture.

 

When I open my friends and mine joint playlist I can see tracks added under his username but tracks added by me are not showing my username.

 

Instead of it I can see 21qyf7ivh7yvkxdazv3dhwvcy - fun thing is, that sometimes it shows my FB full name when I click through tabs, but it goes back to the code by itself randomly.

 

Already tried relogging and reinstalling. 

 

Thanks for any advice.

Hello,

The numbers and letters are your personal username. When you login using facebook it automatically creates a random username for you. There is no fix for this issue. If you feel it is nessersary here is Spotify Support Page https://support.spotify.com/au/contact-spotify-support/

Hey @MaverickCZ

 

That random number is your actual Spotify username, which was assigned automatically to you when you created your account through Facebook.

 

Sometimes it's displayed like that in the app, but normally it should update itself after a little while with your name.

 

Hope it helps. 🙂

Did it change automatically?
