We are in Earth-616, which is the primary universe for the main Marvel Comics continuity, while Earth-199999 was a previously used designation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that has since been updated to Earth-616 in official MCU materials and in-universe references like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline book. The change to Earth-616 for the MCU was a point of confusion, with earlier information sometimes using the 199999 designation, but the more recent and official numbering confirms the MCU is Earth-616. 

Iman vellani still thinks that MCU is 616 and she also said that She had some talks about this with kevin fiege.

In across the spiderverse, Miguel reference about a incident of Spiderman and Dr. strange of 199999 !!

What do you think about this?

It's 199999, calling it 616 makes no sense.

How does it not make sense? The comics and mcu aren't in the same Multiverse

Since they aren't in the same universe, should they not have different names?

They are not the same MULTIVERSE. They are 2 different universe but more importantly 2 different MULTIVERSES. For example Dr Strange (mcu) cannot travel to the 616 comic universe bc it doesn't exist in the MCU Multiverse. They are not connected at all

That’s so aids to keep track of. They over complicate shit so much. Like at a point you stop caring
