Google Messages will show unknown sender names in notifications

Google Messages app is developing a feature that will display the names of unknown senders in notifications. This feature was discovered through an APK teardown of the latest beta version 20240506_01_RC00 of Google Messages.

The new feature will work only if the person contacting you has chosen to make their profile visible and has linked their phone number to their Google account. If someone with an active profile sends you a message, their name will be displayed in the notifications of the Google Messages app.

However, this will only happen if the sender has the profile discovery option turned on, which can be controlled through their Google account.

Currently, the option to enable or disable profile discovery within Messages is under development and not yet operational. Although the setting appears in the beta, it remains hidden and cannot be activated through APK modification.
