Iphone - Notifications turned off no longer shows the recipient name on notifications (Short name)

I am trying to setup notifications in a way that is less disturbing and more secure than showing the entire Preview option. I would like the notification to pop up showing just the App and the sender name.

Using the GMail App as an example. Notifications set on general notifications to Show Preview Never.

App Notification set to Show Preview Always

The notification pops up but it shows the APP and "notification" I need that word notification to be the sender name

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

We see you are wanting to setup notifications in a more secure way. Specifically, showing the sender name instead of the application that sent the notification to your iPhone. As you can see from these two resources, there isn’t any way to set notifications as you’d like: Change notification settings on iPhone and Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

If you’d like, you can let Apple know your thoughts here: Feedback - iPhone

Cheers!
