How can I not show messages on my iPhone lock screen?

I’m having trouble with the notifications that pop up on my iPhone’s lock screen. Every time I receive a text message, the content of the message appears right there for anyone to see if they pick up my phone. I value my privacy and I don’t want my sensitive information to be easily accessible like that. I need to find a way to keep the content of my messages hidden when my phone is locked. It’s becoming quite an issue, especially in public or at work where I don’t want prying eyes to catch a glimpse of my private conversations. I know it must be possible to adjust some settings to ensure this doesn’t happen, but I’m not sure exactly what to do or what options are available. Can anyone help explain how to not show messages on the lock screen of an iPhone?

You can manage your privacy by hiding message notifications directly from the lock screen. I had the same issue, and here’s how I fixed it:
– Navigate to ‘Settings’.
– Select ‘Notifications’.
– Find the ‘Messages’ option.
– When you tap on it, look for the ‘Show Previews’ option and change it to ‘Never’. This will prevent message content from being displayed on the lock screen.

I understand how frustrating it is to have sensitive information visible on the lock screen. Here’s one way to stop this:

  • Go to ‘Settings’.
  • Click on ‘Touch ID & Passcode’ or ‘Face ID & Passcode’.
  • Enter your passcode.
  • Under ‘Allow Access When Locked’, toggle off ‘Notification Center’. This will ensure that notifications, including messages, won’t show on the lock screen.
