Get name of sender of a message in group session

Hi there,

when awaiting a message through an GroupSessionMessenger, I can get the Participant who sent the message through the context.source. But is there any way to get the actual name of that Participant? I haven't seen any way - but I guess it would have to go through the Contacts API?

The reason I need this is because of the VoiceOver support in my app. If a Participant triggers an interaction, I would like to announce who triggered the interaction instead of just announcing "Someone did XY".

Best, Klemens

In our case, we collect a user name before joining the session and send a small message through SharePlay to "dox" the participant ID with a real name (that can be used in UI). From my knowledge, identity date is not shared thorugh SharePlay and the participant IDs are essentially a way of addressing without disclosing any identifying information about the participants.
