WhatsApp notification on iPhone lock screen shows contact name instead of nickname Whenever I get a WhatsApp message with my iPhone locked, I can't see sender's nickname as set by them in their WhatsApp profile. I used to see it previously, but now I see the name which I have saved the contact with in my Contacts list. I would like to get back the ability to see nickname instead of contact name. I don't want to delete the name in my contact list I just want it to be like it was previously.

How can I do this?
Had this same problem and got the below reply from whatsapp support

To turn on previews that display the contact name but not message:

Go to WhatsApp > Settings > Notifications > turn Show Preview on.
Go to iPhone Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp > Show Previews > Never.
