WhatsApp 2.18.52 notifications not showing names

Hi,

I have also faced the same problem after updating my whatsApp to 2.18.52.

Below is the quick work around through which I am out of this Issue.

->Go to Phone Settings

->Go to Notifications

-> In Notifications Go to WhatsApp.

->Scroll Down to see "show previews" option. Make this option to Never.

->Now Open WhatsApp application.

->Go To Whatsapp settings.

->Go to Notifications.

->Here make Show Preview to ON.

By Doing this Now I am able to see the Contact Name in the Whatsapp notification, with out the actual message.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Do you know how to do the opposite? I’d like to keep my incoming messages private/secure. Last week, anytime I’d get a new message, it’d say “notification” and once my Face ID I unlocked it (I have an iPhone X), I was able to see the sender’s name. For some reason, starting this past Sunday, I no longer need to unlock it to see the sender’s name. I don’t wish to see the name right away, only when I unlock it. Let me know if you can help. Thanks!

I am not sure with the update, but in previous versions it use to work fine with the normal settings.

Now with the above settings it shows the contact name and title as "notification" because as we have selected Notifications "show preview" option as "Never".

Hi,

I am still using 10.3.3 on iphone 7 plus with the latest Whatsapp firmware.

>Go to Phone Settings

->Go to Notifications

-> In Notifications Go to WhatsApp.

->Scroll Down to see "show previews" option. Make this option to Never. There is no such option on ios 10.3.3. 😐

I use an iPhone 5 and the latest Whatsapp 2.18.60 .

If i set,

[1] General -> Notification -> Whatsapp -> Notifications -> Display on locked screen -> Deactivated

[2] Whatsapp -> Settings -> Notifications -> Display an excerpt of the message -> Deactivated ,

then nothing shows up when I receive a message.

And, if I set,

[1] General -> Notification -> Whatsapp -> Notifications -> Display on locked screen -> Active

[2] Whatsapp -> Settings -> Notifications -> Display an excerpt of the message -> Deactivated ,

then I get a blank whatsapp notification without the sender or excerpt of the message.

Please advise.

Hi boite,

Once try the below combination.

[1] General -> Notification -> Whatsapp -> Notifications -> Display on locked screen -> Deactivated

[2] Whatsapp -> Settings -> Notifications -> Display an excerpt of the message -> Active

Hope this helps.

thank you , but, show all the names of the contacts or show them as a notification?, Do you think it's an update error?

Perfect!

Thank you!

I think so! But, Whatsapp doesn't admit ther error...

This is not helping at all.

Is there any solution for this? I've tried everything but this is like Apple is forcing us to use IOS 11 I'm using 10.3

Thanks!! It helped me a lot:))
