This isn't a signal issue, it's a notification issue.
Literally any app that you allow to use notifications would do the same thing.
If you want this to be more secure, you have to turn off notifications.
And Signal should take that into account
They do
You can set it to show name + message, name only, or nothing. The last one means that you'd need to open the app to see what you were notified about.
I know what options signal provides. I also know the defaults
Should take what into account?
