Can you hide your last name in Microsoft Account?
Can i hide my Last name in my microsoft account? like for instance, Instead of showing my full name (Example : Will Smith) it will only show my first name (Will instead of Will Smith)
For a personal Microsoft account, there isn’t a separate “hide my last name” switch, but you can change your display name.
Go to Your info, select Edit name, and try leaving the last-name field blank. If the form requires a surname, you can use an initial instead, such as Will S.
This changes your account’s display name, not your email address. It may take time to appear across Microsoft services, and it won’t change how other people have saved you in their contacts.
