When creating skins in the creator they appear as either Steve or Alex to other players. the skins show that they are equipped but my friend sees it as Steve. this problem began after the the previous update and I reported it then and it is still a problem now after the 1.16.220 update.
the 2 images below show my perspective and also what my friend sees.

In Settings > Profile, does your friend have "Only Allow Trusted Skins" enabled? If so, could you ask them to disable it and see if that changes anything?

my friend already had this disabled and we have both tried it with it on and offย
