Hide the preview of incoming notifications and thus protect your privacy to the maximum

2. 2. 2018

Whenever you receive a notification on an iOS device, the device's display is activated and the notification is displayed in all its glory. But there's nothing wrong with that, you might say. Unfortunately, it can be. Imagine leaving your phone on the table for a while surrounded by friends. Just at the most inopportune moment, the "chosen one", in the case of girls, the "chosen one" will write to you and voilà, the secret is revealed and the problem is in the world. If you don't even want to think about such a situation or any other similar one, this guide is made just for you.

Turning off the preview of incoming notifications for all applications

Let's open Settings
Here we click on the box Notification
We'll click on the first column, namely Show previews
Once opened, we have the option to choose between three settings – Always (default option), When unlocked (the preview will appear in the status bar after you unlock the device) and or Never (the preview will not appear either on the locked screen or after unlocking)

disable_display_notification0 — Settings

disable_display_notification1 — Notification

disable_display_notification2 — Show previews

disable_display_notification3 — Choose from three options

Enter the gallery

Turning off the preview of incoming notifications for each application separately

Let's open Settings
Here we click on the box Notification
Now we will choose for which application we want to limit the display of incoming notifications - in my case it will be the application News
Here we slide all the way down and open the option Show previews
After opening, we again have the option to choose between three options – Always (default option), When unlocked (the preview will appear in the status bar after you unlock the device) and or Never (the preview will not appear either on the locked screen or after unlocking)

disable_display_notification4 — Messages (or another app)

disable_display_notification5 — Show previews

disable_display_notification6 — Choose from three options

Enter the gallery

From now on, you don't have to worry about someone reading your secret conversations or emails. I hope you learned something new through this tutorial. I've been using this feature for a very long time and even taught a few of my iPhone-owning friends to use it. This is one of the best features in iOS that takes care of your privacy.
