We have recently started using Location Sharing (formerly Tracker). In the map viewer on AGOL, each user's initials show on the symbol for last known location. This holds true on Track Viewer as well. However, in Field Maps (app version 23.1.0 build 984), each user shows the default 'AF' in the last known location symbology. This is occurring on iPhones, not sure about Androids. Anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?
Unfortunately this is a known issues in Field Maps on both iOS and Android and the Maps SDKs (formerly Runtime). The symbol type used by default when the Tracks layers are added to a map in Map Viewer is not supported correctly at this time.
Changing the symbol and using labeling would be one option to accomplish something similar now.

@LearnThenShare Unfortunately, this issues has not been addressed. We are working with the Maps SDK team to try to address it, but I do not have a timeline of when this will be fixed.
Thanks Justin! I've got labeling turned on, so it works around the issue. I had assumed it was a known issue, just couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. Thanks again!
I created a simple circle symbol with white background and then setup a label with an Arcade expression to populate the label. Here is the Arcade expression I used:
We were using some trial licenses at the time so I can't easily go back and look at the map and the data. Looking back at what little I do have, I believe I used the Full Name column to label. The symbology kept the "AF", but each person's name showed directly above the symbol.
