Player skin does not show up in multiplayer

Note

Please add only new information to the comments section. Any further comments that do not add any information will be removed.

In order to see some skins of other players, you may need to disable "Only Allow Trusted Skins" under Settings>Profile. If your friends cannot see your skin, they should check the toggle on their profile.

For issues with importing multiple custom skins see MCPE-54235 and MCPE-54848.

When playing in multiplayer, sometimes I cannot see my friend's custom profile.  They appear as one of the two default skins (seemingly at random).  They seek their own chosen skin in 3rd person, though.  And they see me in one of the default skins as well, sometimes the same one as theirs, sometimes the other one, and again I see my own profile skin when looking at myself in 3rd person.

I'm also having this issue during LAN play (multiplayer) since I updated to 1.16. Custom skins worked perfectly fine before the update. I'm playing on a newer iPad with iOS 13.5.1 if that helps. I can see my own custom skin, but from my friends point of view I look like Steve.

Reinstalling new custom skins didn't help and neither did reinstalling minecraft.

 

Edit: Found out that my ipad is not the problem, but my friends tablet witht he problem. We joined a 3 person lan game and she couldn't see any custom skins. I was able to see them all fine. And the third person could see my custom skin as well. She also plays on an ipad. Slightly old, same OS.

I'm having the exact same problem, but the mod just redirected me here, to a Months old post of a non fixed error, I wonder why they haven't fixed it yet if it's so f'ing annoying and dosen't let quite a lot of players to enjoy the game, the game worked fine for us until this Update :/

In 1.16.1, if I look at another player who has a custom skin, I will see it with Steve's skin, and if I look at myself in the second person I will see myself with my custom skin, but the other player go see me with Steve skin

2 days ago in Minecraft PS4 Bedrock Edition, there was the 1.16.1 update that claimed that the custom skin problem was resolved. I joined my friend and neither the custom skins nor the owned skins were appearing although in the chat it would say that he changed to a skin like "(person) changed into Lucas skin". He wouldn't even be an Alex it only shows me that he is a Steve. Vice versa, he kept seeing me as the default Steve skin. Before the update, owned skins would appear normally but now no.

@unknown 1.16.1 fixed MCPE-48207, not this ticket.

This currently happens on the Eerie event server. If it matters, the preview in the bottom right of the main menu says "skinStandardCust"

For me it seems to work correctly in singleplayer and when playing on a lan world. But not on event servers (The one shown in the picture is on the minecraft movie live event for anyone who finds this comment in the future). I use a custom skin

I can confirm, although I’m a Java player it is really annoying to have this issue with multiplayer events on Bedrock. I tried everything, also contacted supports but nothing helped.

And as others state, single player skins work just fine.

Hi, could get this owership of this ticket, will update the issue.
