How do i hide sender name of the Facebook messenger application from showing on the Watch

Hello,


So if someone writes something on Facebook Messenger, his name will appear on the watch. I want my privacy notification to be the same as on my Phone to not show the name, only the application.


Is there a way?


I have everything on in the notification privacy options.


Thanks,

-Alex

I think you are saying when you receive a FB message the sender's name appears on your watch, rather than just "Facebook". Your Apple Watch app can control whether or not a notification is sent to the watch, but not the content of the notification - it is all or nothing. The content detail within notifications from third party apps to the watch is controlled by the app, so you need to address this issue to Facefook
