How to Hide Notifications from Lock Screen on Samsung (Android 11)

If you’re so curious to hide the notification content from your Samsung Lock screen then you’re at the right spot. In this post, you’ll learn how to hide notifications from the lock screen on Samsung Galaxy phones.

Meanwhile, when you receive a notification from an Android app, the app’s name and icon, as well as a preview of its contents, appear on your Lock screen. When you receive alerts from WhatsApp, Messenger, Messages, and other similar applications, you will also receive the name of the person contacting you, as well as (part of) the text message itself. While accessing this information without unlocking your Android smartphone might be useful, others may be able to see your personal communications, thus knowing how to hide the content of notifications is vital.

Step 4. Make sure the Hide content switch is switched on to hide the message content in the Notification bar. In the preview window at the top, you can see how your notifications will appear.

A notification is a brief message that alerts you to fresh material in your apps. This may be a new email, a new text message, a new post from someone you follow on social media sites like Instagram or Facebook, and so on. This notice will appear on the locked screen of your Samsung Galaxy, as well as in the notification bar on your Android phone’s home screen.
