Name of Contact Display Only without Text Message Content

Is there a settings in notifications to have Name only appear with text message contents hidden on on the Lock screen like an iPhone it's ridiculous I can't find a basic setting to change this. If I change to hide content of the text message it only displays that a text message has arrived everything is hidden

On the Notification setting for the specific messaging app you're using there should be an option that states 'Lock Screen' and you'll have the option to 'Show content', 'Hide content', or 'Do not show notifications' (which controls what happens if you receive a notification and your device is not unlocked).

See attached, No option on my AT&T S10+ for 'Show Content'

Someone with an ATT variant will have to chime in, then... Mine does have the 3 options (T-Mobile). BUT, showing the info on that app is not granular, so it's up to the app itself to 'decide' what will be shown on lockscreen vs what will be hidden (some e-mail apps, for instance, let you customize if the things you show on the notification are sender, message title, message preview, or all... not sure for messaging apps)

I found how display all three options but bottom line is there is no to setting to display a message with just the name of contact while hiding the content of the text. Either displays the name and content of the text or it hides everything and only a message notification appears just wow

Then you probably need an app that does allow that level of customization. I'd check out Textra or Pulse, which are pretty popular options known for being customizable.
