Text message on Lock Screen only says ‘notification’ without showing contact name

My iPhone was saying the text senders name and “iMessage” when getting a text. Now it just says “notification” when getting a text. How do I make it show the persons name ONLY without a preview of the message. My notification settings in messages is show previews -> when unlocked. This issues started after I restarted my phone.

Notifications on Lock Screen I just got the iPhone 13 and when I get an iMessage alert when my phone is locked, I have to click the text message and then click “open”. The message doesn’t immediately open, rather it slides a bit to the right and the “open” button appears to the left. I used to be able to just click the message and it open rather than two steps. How do I fix this?

iPhone X: lock screen displaying “notifications” instead of contact name for iMessages Has anyone experienced this? Last night after my phone completely died, I plugged it in to charge and when it turned back on my iMessages started to display like the picture below. Normally my phone displays individual contacts and “iMessage” or “2 iMessages”. After this, I upgraded to the newest iOS 13.4.1. This seemed to solve the issue until my iPhone died again and required charging. I have tried everything. All of my notifications are turned on, my preview is set to “only when unlocked”. I cannot figure out why this is happening or how to fix it and it is driving me crazy! Please help me.

Number of notifications now appearing on lock screen IOS 15 Hello, I apologize if this seems like an easy fix but I just updated to the latest versions of IOS 15 and when I receive notifications on my lock screen they still stack but don't show me how many are stacked. Previously when I had 3 messages from the same person it would have the number of texts that were sent whereas now it just says the person's name even if they sent me more than one text. Let me know if there's a way to fix this in settings or if this is just no longer a thing with the new update. Thanks!
