Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing iOS support for setting a more descriptive account name, then inspect how account information is represented on the server and shown on the profile page. The issue also lists Android, Desktop, and iOS follow-up work; completion would require a clear decision on the cross-client and server scope and agreement on where the alias should appear.
