How to stop people seeing your messages in WhatsApp?

Have you ever handed your phone to a friend and immediately panicked by the WhatsApp messages they can see? Yes, neither do we.

For those who have, you can turn off the message preview on iOS so that only the contact’s name is displayed instead of their life story, or you can turn off notifications completely.

  • iOS: Settings > Notifications > Toggle off Show Preview / Settings > Notifications > Toggle off Show Notifications.

Android provides a series of notification controls. In the WhatsApp application itself, you can turn off high-priority notifications-notifications that will pop up at the top of the screen.

Or you can control notifications at the system level to keep them confidential or delete them altogether.

  • Android: Settings > Notifications > Toggle off Use high priority notifications.
