display name of the contact in lock screen notifications

[androii]

please anyone tell me how to set up notifications on lock screen to show the contact's name but to hide the content/body of the messages. I tried the hide content on lock screen option but it then only shows that i have a new message and no details at all. Ideally I would like to see the contact's name but no content displayed. thanks in advance.

You need to use a different SMS app. I use chompSMS and it has this capability under privacy settings.

oh, thanks for the suggestion. I tried the chompsms and it works but hasn't solved my problem with whatsapp messaging. so back to finding solution again. great, if you can suggest something on that too. thanks.
