YOGYAKARTA - The WhatsApp instant messaging application has many features that users can use to make their activities easier, one of which is the preview in the notification.

With the preview, users can see the contents of incoming messages more quickly. If the message received on your WhatsApp is not too long, the user can read the entire content and reply to it by clicking the reply menu below.

However, it can also disturb your privacy. The reason is, through the preview, other people can also see the messages that enter your WhatsApp if there is an incoming notification.

This can make your privacy no longer safe, especially if you often hang out with friends and leave your device to go to the bathroom or other activities.

However, you don't need to worry because there are a number of ways you can hide the preview so that only you can see the preview on your WhatsApp when a message notification arrives.

Below, the VOI team has compiled the steps you can take to hide the WhatsApp preview that is on your iPhone or iOS device when a message notification comes in.

How to Hide WhatsApp Preview on iOS

To hide your WhatsApp preview on iOS smartphones, users can change the settings field by clicking the Settings menu on your device, then scroll down until you find the Notifications menu.

Next, scroll down until you find the Whatsapp application menu, and you can select the application menu to set the notifications in it.

After that, in the "Lock Screen Appearance" or "Lock Screen Display" section, select the "Show Preview" or "Show Preview" menu. Next, you will be given a number of options and the user can choose the “Never” option.

If you select the "Never" option, the contents of the WhatsApp message that appears on your smartphone notification when a message arrives will only display the sender's name with the words "Notification".

Thus, other people cannot see the contents of the WhatsApp message, unless you or someone else you have given access to to unlock the screen of your device using a certain password.

That was the way you can do to hide the preview of WhatsApp messages on iOS devices so that other people don't see it. These settings can help you in maintaining privacy so that it is more awake.
