    Hi,

    Maybe I am missing something but how do you get user names when using Unity's Social Leaderboard API? There is an example in the documentation that uses userID, but that is just an id string and I need to get "displayName" or "alias" on iOS.

    OK, found it.
    "You can load the users information using Social.LoadUsers."
    Seems more complex that it really needs to be with all the callbacks, compared to how it works on native iOS. Plus, I assume it automatically loads all profile images too which I really don't need...

    Would you mind sharing code on how you did this?
