Description

**Describe the bug**
When using /me, the display name is shown in different ways in Element Web and Element Android

Element Web only shows the * Display_name

Element Android shows both the default Display_name and the * Display_name

Fully agree on this, we just need to make it looks nice and homogeneous.
