displaynames do not update #2237

Open dkg opened 1 month ago

dkg commented 1 month ago

I was trying to replicate https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3155 and https://github.com/deltachat/interface/issues/71 with a colleague using iOS, and found that my updated displayname didn't show up on their device.

I would have expected it to show up for them, the way it did on Desktop and Android. But it did not. my displayname for them remains "dkg".

Conversely, when they change their displayname, i can see the updated display name on both Android and Desktop systems.

thanks for bringing that up, discussion takes place in the other issue at https://github.com/deltachat/interface/issues/71 ; closing this issue here as there is no concrete actionable item currently EDIT: this was meant for https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3155

A quick workaround is to go to the user's profile (1. Go to the chat. 2. press their profile-icon. 3. Edit) and remove the name. Afterwards the display name should be updated automatically again if the other user changes their name.
