Google Messages may soon start showing names of unknown contacts, but there’s a catch

Google Messages may be getting a new feature that shows the name of the person who contacted you in notifications. The upcoming functionality was recently spotted in the beta version of Google Messages.

First spotted by Android Authority during an APK teardown, which helps shed light on upcoming features, it looks like the latest version of Google Messages contains a change to the notification you get on your phone whenever a new message from an unknown number arrives.
