Following an article published by @404mediaco today, there were many posts recommending to prevent #notifications in #Signal from revealing message content, by switching notification texts to "No name or message".
While here's how to do that:

…you might not be entirely happy about not knowing whether you've received a message from your significant other, or a family member.
If distinctive notification sounds work for you, and aren't too obnoxious, you can disable notification content, as described above; and still set specific notification sounds on a per-chat base:

This works for both one-on-one chats and for groups.
