How to prevent texts from showing on locked Iphone?
Despite being 18 years old and paying my own phone bill, my mother still seems to think she is entitled to read my private text messages.
I have an Iphone 4S that is password protected, so she can't go through all of my messages, but whenever I get a new one, the text message is displayed on the main screen, where anyone can read it without entering a password.
Is there anyway to stop the msgs from being displayed? Instead of showing the full text of the message, can I make it just say "1 unread", or something along those lines?
I've tried explaining to her over and over and over that I'm an adult, I'm paying for it, and so she has absolutely no right to read my msgs. But she just laughs at me and brushes it off. I'm sick of having to communicate with my friends through FB because of my mom's lack of respect for my privacy. I'm paying for unlimited texting myself, and she's essentially making me waste away my money.
Hi, yes just go to settings, then go to notifications, then messages, then alert style click none. That's all. Happy holidays.
Settings > notification centre > messages > make sure 'show in lock screen' is off.
Other than that, you need to sit her down and tell her that it's incredibly frustrating and you feel that she's violating your privacy, and she needs to stop. Threaten to read HER texts or something.
Disable notification from settings for messages and whatever app you are using and getting messages through like facebook
- Why is my Iphone 4 not showing the contact names on my in-coming texts? I'm having this issue with my Iphone 4 after updating. Suddenly my text messages are not displaying the contact name, but rather just the phone number of the person sending the text. It always displayed the senders name prior to updating, and now I can;t get it to return doing so. I've tried rebooting my phone and tried to look up some info on the net, but nothing seems to work to get it back. Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so, how did you fix the issue.
- Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
- Why are my iMessages showing up as texts for certain iPhone users? Okay, so I have an iPhone 4S and earlier today, I tried to text one of my friends earlier who has an iPhone 4S and iMessage wasn't registering when I entered their number, and the texts would only send as text messages. I can send iMessages to all of my other friends who have iPhones without any problems. This friend is the only person it's not working for. I'm not sure what the problem is.
- My iPhone 4S won't accept calls or texts when locked? When my phone is locked, my phone doesn't ring, or make a noise when I get a text? But when I look on my phone it says I've got a missed call and I have a text. Also, when people try calling me, it says I'm unavailable, please help! It was working fine last week!
