They observed both, watch the follow-up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GVbuddri8

"The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration observed the supermassive black holes at the center of M87 and our Milky Way galaxy (SgrA*) finding the dark central shadow in accordance with General Relativity, further demonstrating the power of this 100 year-old theory."

But in the press conference they specifically said they weren’t releasing SgrA* yes because they hadn’t completed their analysis. They released pictures after that?

You're right, it looks like they are still observing Sagittarius A but what they released was only a simulation for that one.
