Does anyone else do not get the preview message on WhatsApp notifications?

I have it on, but somehow I only receive "message from" instead of reading the actual message without going into the app.

Nope I get the previews.

Mmm that's to bad, I turned them off and then back on a few hours later and the first message I get I can see the text, and the second time it just says "a message from"

Don't really know if this is a iOS 9 bug or just a bug on WhatsApp

I've got that problem too. Get almost every message twice. Once with "Message from ****" and then one with the preview... Don't know if its a iOS bug or a whatsapp bug...

Are you on a Group Chat? Or just a one person message? I get previews for group chats but haven't been able to check normal.

Same for me. This just started today, so I believe it's an server-side issue with WhatsApp.

Group chats give me normal previews, personal chats do not.

Exactly this, I can see the preview in group chats, but not on personal chats, if I start a personal chat I can see the first or two answers, but after that, it only shows message from.. just like in this screenshot you can read the answer on the first chat but on the other two says message from.

But well, good thing it's not only happening to me, just have to wait for the next beta update.

I sometimes get only the preview, sometimes get both the preview and the actual message.

Same here, sometimes I get preview from personal messages but I always get preview from group chats.

After public beta 3 and the update to WhatsApp on August 5th, this problem seems to be gone.

Really liking PB3, so smooth, I think iOS 9 will be great, not so much new features, but really good under the hood.
