Incorrect Apple ID Displayed in App Store Profile

Hi,


I'm experiencing a strange issue in the App Store. When I open the App Store, click on my profile, and view my account details (name, Apple ID, purchase history, etc.), my Apple ID is displayed incorrectly.

My actual Apple ID starts with "firstnamelastname", but it appears as "firstnameRandomName" in the profile section. Interestingly, after updating to iOS 18.3.2, it initially displayed correctly, but later reverted to the incorrect version. I’m unsure why this is happening, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Since I can't attach a screenshot here, I hope this description helps. Has anyone else experienced this, or is there any known fix for it?


Thank you!

How long have you had this iPhone? Did you buy it from someone other than Apple or one of their authorized resellers? When you got the phone, did it open to the "hello" screen? Or have you allowed anyone else to log in under their Apple account? I'm asking because it sounds like that iPhone is registered to someone else.
