So, when users are using app they can go under “About” and add their photo and it does appear on my User Profile table. How can I add a column so they can add their name to their profile or a nickname?

The user profile table should already have a name column. If it doesn’t add one. On the user profile screen, create an edit button with an action of show edit screen. Create a text entry component that allows them to enter their name.
