I have a Kindle Fire, and I connect on WiFi with my friends who have iPods. When we are connected, they can see my player name above my head, but I can't see theirs. Why does this happen? How can I fix it by enabling the names?

    I didn't think you see the player names on a Findle Fire.

I'm not sure if you changed any settings, but there is a setting that disables player names, can't say that that is the solution.

    It might be because you're on different devices.



    When I connect with my sister, we can both see each other's names and she's on a Samsung so it might not be that.
