Users can not edit their profile name. You chose your user name when creating your account here.

And your profile name is not "APPLEDONALDTRUMP" have another look at it.

The moderators have changed your username.

There are Apple moderators here running the forums and checking for violations. You chose your username when you created the account - no one else can do that for you. Your real name is not visible for security reasons. And, there is no "host" for your account or profile - you set that up when you opened the account; the site is owned by Apple and made available to anyone who opens an account to post a technical question or answer. For that, you post signing in with your Apple ID and password. Your email has nothing to do with your Apple Discussions account except that you will get email notifications when someone posts an answer to your question.


Your devices are automatically registered with Apple, so when you ask about the phone, you should post in the iPhone forum. It is linked to YOUR profile because that is what you signed in with.


And, the mods changed your username for you.

The system prompted me to create an account, which I did. However, I can't see my name as I log in with my Google account on the Apple forum. Even my email isn't visible. I'm puzzled whether the profile in the upper right corner belongs to Donald Trump as a host. I initially assumed it was my profile, not a hosted one. So, could it be that when I asked my question specifying it was about the iPhone, it automatically linked to that profile? Am I using that profile, or did a human make a fake name? Is this how the community question system operates? Thank you for your feedback…
