Why do usernames of accounts you visit sometimes include your username?

I recently suggested Mastodon to a friend and she is using it on IOS. She sent me a picture of her visiting an account and the name shows as @username@[email protected]

This doesn't happen for all accounts and I personally never noticed it. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be that way ?

Edit: She is using the "official" Mastodon app

Probably a bug with the app she's using

Yea I am using the "official" app on Android and didn't have that issues. It seems to be only on IOS. She switched to Metatext now and didn't have that issue.

What app is she using? The official app lacked a lot of features the last time I used it (couple of months back). I use Tusker now and haven't come across that issue.

She ia using the "official" Mastodon app because I didn't wanna confuse her first. She's on Metatext now and the issue is gone
