How can I customize message notifications?

Customize message notifications

Sometimes, when I was using my watch, people who I was talking to just saw my message notifications that contains private content. So I just want to let the watch notify me with the message sender, not the message content.

Is there any features I can customize the notification features?

Re: Customize message notifications

This "private mode" is on other smartwatches (the Qualcomm Toq comes to mind) and is usually a setting on your phone (for the lock screen) as well. Unfortunately, I do not see any way to do this on android wear.

In my testing, even when the phone is set to privacy mode and the app itself is set to not show "sensitive" information, android wear seems to ignore this setting. When a notification comes in, the watch still displays the full contents of the notification.

There may be a third-party solution / app for this, but I couldn't find anything in my quick search for it.
