An iPhone is a supercomputer equipped with several facilities in the palm of your hand.

Smartphones are one of humanity’s closest companions as we glance at them throughout the day for various purposes.

However, what’s awkward and annoying is if someone else takes a sneak peek at your phone’s notifications that may contain private information through the lock screen.

If you are worried about people looking at your notifications intentionally or subconsciously, iPhone offers a quick solution to hide it.

It will ensure you get the notification when someone sends you a text, but nobody will be able to view the context.

To prevent access from unnecessary individuals, you can hide the notification previews on your iPhone, and that’s exactly what we are going to showcase in this article.

How to hide notifications on iPhone lock screen

If you want to turn off notification previews for individual apps, follow the steps below:

  • Go to your iPhone ‘settings’ and hover over notifications
  • Scroll down to locate the particular app you want to customize
  • Tap on ‘show previews’
  • Select between ‘when unlocked’ and ‘never’
  • Choose never, if you want to turn the notifications preview off completely even after you unlock the device
  • Select ‘when unlocked’ if you want the notifications to appear without content on the lock screen.
