For Message notification, is it possible to display the sender's name, but not the text content?

[Android Central Question]

I recently switched from iOs to Oreo. On iOs, my sms notifications displayed my contact's name, but hid the content of the text. On Oreo, the Message notification options are pretty limited. It seems I can hide all information on the lock screen or get the contact name and content. Is it possible to only display the contact name?

The content of the notification will depend on which SMS app you are using.
The basic app that comes with the phone may not provide the level of customizing you want.
If that is the case, give the app "textra" a try.
