Custom skin doesnt appear to friends in normal worlds, but does in servers like the hive.

I haven't had an issue with skins before, but now, when I am playing in a world that I make, my friends dont see the skin that I downloaded and imported in, instead they see a weird default skin or steve, both which I dont have equipped. when I played on the hive to see if the issue persists, it didnt, other players described the correct skin i chose, when i go into third person or see my character, i too see the correct skin. Something ive noticed is that my profile picture appears as a grey one, a default thing that happens when you dont have a pfp i guess, but when i go onto a server like the hive, it shows my normal pfp in the friends/invite section on the pause screen. I believe there is a connection. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times, getting rid of all my worlds in the process, the issue remains the same. Having those imported skins is an amazing part of minecraft that i enjoy and have fun with, the ones provided in the store arent my favorites, although i have bought a few. I just hope that this is a glitch that can be resolved.

Do your friends have the "Only Allow Trusted Skins" option enabled in Settings > General? If so, are they able to see your skin if they disable it and rejoin your world?

Yes, they've been able to see my skins before, this only happened relatively recently.

One time when I reinstalled the game, they were able to see the skin I had chosen, and the profile picture was present. The next time I tried playing, it glitched again or something.

Have you tried equipping a different custom skin besides the one that is not appearing? If so, applying a different custom skin had any effect?

Yes I have, same issue happens.
