I used to be able to show stocks as ticker symbols eg. AAPL instead of apple but the option is gone from the trading preferences on iPhone app.

I just updated the app to latest version released September 1st to see if it’s been fixed but no luck.

The only option i see now in trading preferences is “show positions on chart”. Seems strange

But that option has been removed. Below is even worse. I cannot see at all what are the first three investments in this pie:
