On IPhone XS How do I change my settings to not display the contact name of the person who has iMessaged me?

I like the idea that I’m able to see my messages on my lock screen using Face ID but how do I turn off the setting where it displays the persons name unless I’m looking at my phone. When I receive a text it says who sent it and then notification for example;


Joe Bloggs

Notification


Instead i want it to say


iMessage

notification


Any help 🙂
