Hi, I've managed to hide text content in the notification on the lock screen for WhatsApp and at the same time I can know the name of the sender, but the PHOTO content keeps appearing on the lock screen and I want to keep it private.
Moreover I've noticed that anybody can open the photo from the lock screen without the digital print!
My goal is to receive the notification with the name of the sender, and without any text nor photo content.
Thanks for your help,

Well if you're wanting to do all that, you might as well either (a) turn the app notifications completely off and manually check, or (2) get an Apple Watch and have all notifications on the watch only.

This is, of course, assuming you're using an iPhone.

Yes, thanks, I did try that. The thing is I could receive the notification with the name only, and no messages nor photo content, before I downloaded the new version IOS 12.. now it seems that we can not do that anymore. Just checking with you people. Thanks
