The first update will now display the profile image of the sender of a message on the notification panel to the left, as opposed to just the name that we normally see. This feature has been submitted through the TestFlight beta program in version 22.1.71 on iOS 15 as it is using iOS 15’s APIs to make it work. The feature was first spotted on beta version 2.22.1.1.

The feature will be rolled out in stages to more users in the coming few weeks.

The second update is also surrounding the notification tray. Now if someone replies to a message that you sent in a group, or if someone mentions you in a group you’re a part of, the notification will clearly display that as “Replied to your message” or “mentioned you” respectively.

This feature is exclusive to group messages and doesn’t work for direct messages sent to a user. The feature is compatible with the iOS beta version 22.1.71, and is rolling out in stages. In case you’re not able to see this feature just yet, then maybe your device hasn’t made the cut, but it also means future updates could bring the feature to your device.
