Android Pie - Text Messages only Icons, not name or number!

[paulwilko10]

Just updated my S9+ and it looks okay with Pie however i hate the new messages layout.

Example, a contact called Kev shows as a K in a circle. I need it to show either his nam eor number, K means nothing really

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Paul

Where does it show up like this? The lock screen? Just go to settings and change the view to detailed.

No, in the messages app itself

I have names on mine. Are you using a theme? You might need to go back to default. Some Oreo themes aren't compatible with the Pie apps. Some theme makers are already pushing updates for their themes.

Yeah I could be using a theme, i will try it out and see if default works better

Thanks
