By default, iMessage and SMS messages will show previews and alerts on the Lock screen and Home screen of your iPhone, and iMessage previews and alerts on your iPad and iPhone. If you'd rather keep your messages away from prying eyes, however, and not have previews shown, or if you want to change how your alerts are shown, you can easily do so.
How to turn off iMessage and SMS previews on your iPhone and iPad
By default iOS will show a short preview of your iMessage (or SMS) on both the Lock screen and Home screen. If you'd rather have your notification only show the sender's name, however, you can easily adjust the settings of the Messages app to do so.
- Launch the Settings app from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad Home screen.
- Tap Notifications and then Messages.
- Scroll down to Show Preview.
- Toggle the option to Off if you don't want iMessage or SMS previews. That will make sure only the sender's name will show in the notifications.
How to turn off message alerts on your iPhone and iPad
If you'd like to additional privacy when it comes to iMessage and SMS, or just want to conserve battery life by minimizing the amounts of alerts you get, the Messages app also allows you to customize the kind of alerts you receive and how often for both iPhone and iPad.
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Notifications and then Messages.
- Under the Alert Style section you can change the type of notification alerts you receive. For maximum privacy you can completely disable alerts by selecting None.
Changes will affect both iMessages and regular SMS messages. Even though you turned off the alert notification, unless you disable sound separately, a tone will still play, however, no alerts will pop up.
Not only will this add more privacy but it'll maximize battery life by not waking up the screen every time you receive an iMessage or SMS.
