Description
CC @pixlwave (from https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/pull/4662)
iOS 15 will have support for "notification avatars", allowing users to see who sent them a message;
[macrumors article summarising it](https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-15-notifications/amp/), under "new look for notifications" (I couldn't find the exact dev reference)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the referenced Element iOS pull request 4662 and the notification implementation in this repository, then consult the linked MacRumors summary for the iOS 15 notification-avatar behavior. The issue does not name files or an exact developer reference, so confirm the supported API and affected notification paths before defining completion as working sender avatars on iOS 15.
