I changed my name in ea but it doesn’t change in apex

I was in sort of the same boat, the only way for it to change in game is by logging into a pc and logging into the game through the origin browser. This was the excuse given to me. Its a poor one at that. I play on pc but used steam since i already have it installed and do not need another launcher on top of the 4 i have. Same with my name change, as well as buying game currency. Have to login through origin launcher to have the changes take effect.
