When we get any notification on our Android device, it normally shows up on the lock screen. Seldom when you receive a notification from any messaging app that may carry some personal or sensitive content, it might be stressful for you that someone may see it.
So, to avoid this, Android offers a setting to hide sensitive notification content from the lock screen. You can even hide all the notifications from the lock screen. Let’s check out the enabling this feature on your phone.
Hide Sensitive Notification Content
You can turn on this feature from the settings. You should see that the notifications will still appear, but the content will be hidden. Also, the particular apps will decide themselves what is a “sensitive” notification, so it may differ for distinctive apps.
Steps to hide sensitive content on your phone’s lock screen:
1. Go to the Settings on your phone and tap on Apps & Notifications.
2. Now, choose “Notifications” and scroll down to the “Lock Screen” section.
3. Here, first, tap on “Notifications on lock screen”.
4. If you want to hide all notifications, select the “Don’t show notifications” or “Show alerting notifications only” option.
5. For hiding only sensitive notifications, go to the next option and toggle off the switch next to “Sensitive notifications.”
This way you can hide sensitive notification content from the lock screen on Android. For more Android tips and tricks, stay tuned!
