> This does make me wonder, though: is there any mechanism in Signal we can use to prevent our message contents from appearing in the recipient’s notifications regardless of how they have configured the setting to do so?
In addition to what @WhyRhy shared, I think you can also send one time picture messages with text applied. Think a blank background and using Signal’s text overlay feature.
@WhyRhy also including an image of what the recipient sees in the notification for spoiler. Personally, I think this would be visual only. Like you indicated, I imagine the full unredacted text is in the same log files, but would be interesting to get confirmation.
