I Can't see my friends wishlist or games but her profile is public. Why? i tried plugging this persons user name into this url in place of the current user listed in this url and it just takes me to my own wish list: https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/Aggromieze/

She is on a PC and I'm on a mac. I did a good search and it sounds like this is happening to other users.

You can have a public profile but also hide your games.

That’s not the issue

That is the issue, read what he said. You can set your games to private to prevent others including you *friend* from seeing them.

The "Aggromieze" is not a username. It's an extension of the custom URL that you can set. It's not always going to be the same as the username, for instance that user's display name right now is "MIEZE 🎃".

You are not using a custom URL so your wishlist is identified by your profile number:
https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198212493161

If you put something in that URL that Steam doesn't recognize, it defaults to your own.

The privacy settings on your profile have an entry for Game Details for which you can set it differently than the whole profile. This includes games that have been wishlisted.
