For some reason my notifications on my 13PM and Apple Watch for Gmail show up as "You have a new message" instead of the preview I used to get. I changed no settings but this started happening 3 days ago, and I cannot for the life of me see why on my devices. Outlook and everything else still get previews...WTH? Any ideas? I am in Florida on a family emergency and I don't have time for this, but it bothers the heck out of me and I need to rectify it. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I have attached screenshots of my general and Gmail notification settings.

They have different icons,

The "bad" one looks like it's coming from the gmail app, while the good one looks like the outlook app.

do you have multiple accounts? It's possible something got signed out in outlook, or you might want to try signing out of the gmail app, and see if outlook takes over.

The Outlook App is my business Gmail address, and the Gmail App one is my personal Gmail address. Two different apps notifying from two different accounts but the Gmail app is the only one that doesn't show previews. Outlook and all other apps that get notifications show the previews.

Well dang! It's doing it again. Just like before, it is saying, "You have a new message" instead of a preview, but as before, I changed no settings. This only is happening with the GMail app. What the heck is making it happen?
