Adding sender information in iPhone notifications

Previously, when an email notification came onto my iPhone, it would show the sender name. Recently, the sender name disappeared. This possibly started after the most recent upgrade. I would like to see the sender name again so that I know if I need to quickly respond to the email. How do I restore the sender name in the notification.


Apple Watch, watchOS 4

Change alert styles

To add or change an alert style for a notification:

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
  2. Select an app under Notification Style. 
  3. Choose a type of alert and banner style. 

You can also turn sounds and badges on or off.

Change group notification settings

You can use group notifications or keep them separate.

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
  2. Select an app and tap Notification Grouping.
  3. Select one of these options:
    • Automatic: Notifications from each app will appear in groups based on app alerts.
    • By App: All notifications from each app will be grouped into single expandable alerts.
    • Off: Notifications appear in the order they’re received, without grouping.

From here you can also choose how to show notification previews for specific apps. For example, you can have notification previews show up all the time or never, even when your device is locked.
