Got my phone today and haven't switched apps yet. Works well

I used it at first, but stopped pretty quickly. It works well overall, but I have a dealbreaking problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to allow the sender's name to show without a preview of the message showing as well. The notification either just says New Message or has the sender's name and the message contents. With Textra, other Android messaging apps, and iOS you can choose to show the sender's name with none of the actual message showing. That's pretty important to me for privacy.

If I'm not noticing a setting to enable name, but no message in the default messaging app I'll gladly use it though.
