Hide names on iMessage notifications On the latest update version of the iPhone XS I’d like for it to not show the name of the sender of texts until my phone is unlocked. I know I can make it not display the content of the message in the notification by selecting <preview-never or once unlocked>. But how can I make it not display the name of the sender as well? I just want it to show an iMessage notification and that's it! Is this possible?

How to disable the preview of the sender name in the watsapp notifications on IOS15? Hello to all. In the setting I can disable preview but nevertheless if someone opens my notifications they can see who was writing me the message (not the content). Is it possible to hide that part too? the setting I am talking about is: settings->Notifications->watsapp(or any application)->Lock screen appearance : show preview when unlocked So as a result I would like to see a notification about watsapp message where I can see only the icon or maybe the number of new messages but not the sender names or the groups where I got those messages. I am using watsap as an example, but I would like to do the same for all the chat apps I use.
