Home screen 'Quick Replies' option for less info
At the moment, if Quick Replies is on, you see a snapshot of the incoming message to be able to swipe it and preview/reply. I hide my status bar on the home screen for cleanliness, so rely on these to know what’s waiting. This is a nice feature but can lead to a messy screen if there are messages waiting from multiple apps. It’s also actually quite rare for me to reply from here; I usually just jump into the main app to reply as I often need the context of the conversation. As a middle ground, could you make an option which just adds a dot or some other minor (inline) indicator to the home screen icon, rather than have the line preview? Users could still swipe to preview and quick reply, or we could just hit the icon to go straight to the app. Hope that makes sense and thanks for considering! Absolutely love your work BTW!!

Good news: this is already Planned. The wish for a small badge or dot on the home screen instead of the notification preview text is tracked here: Show notification badge / dot instead of preview text.
Upvoting and following that post is the best way to push it, and you'll get notified there when the status changes. Your point about keeping swipe to preview and reply while the screen stays quiet is a good detail to add as a comment on it.
