Can I set my iPhone so that messages only shows the name?

I know previews of messages can be turned off on the screen, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the messages so that when you open the messages app, it only shows the name or number and that there’s a new message, without previewing any of the message. I’m using an iPhone XR
