Ugh. They're getting rid of the names under contacts in Messages.app? I'm sure it looks very nice when everyone has a custom icon, but I'd wager that's rarely the case in the real world. Apple's UIs communicate less and less with each release. It's like their design philosophy is "simple as possible and then just keep going." EDIT: Withdrawn. -- The photo in the Accessibility section shows it expanded. Why they didn't show it that way in the Messages section is beyond me.

They aren't. The icons appear without text when you shrink the sidebar. You can do the same thing in Big Sur now by decreasing the size of the left pane.

  Looks like you're right! I went back and checked photos in the other sections and, indeed, there is a photo in the Accessibility section showing it expanded. Phew.

    Also in the hero image. I agree, would have been a nightmare otherwise!
