Have you ever given your phone to family members and worried that they might read a personal message on the notification panel or on the lock screen?
If by chance you have experienced this, then there is a way to prevent accidents from happening.
You can make sure this doesn't happen by simply disabling the WhatsApp notification or the preview message option.

Note that when iOS users disable the preview option, WhatsApp only displays the sender's name and the notification text will be "Message".
But this will not be the case for Android users as they will disable the WhatsApp notifications option in the phone settings.
Keep reading to know more.

Android: How to disable WhatsApp message preview on lock screen
  • Step 1: Go to the Phone’s settings section.
  • Step 2: Tap on ‘Apps & Notifications,’ and search the WhatsApp app.
  • Step 3: Once you find the messaging app,  go to Notifications.
  • Step 4: Toggle off ‘Show Notifications.’ Once this is done, you won’t see any WhatsApp messages on the phone’s lock screen or in the notification panel.
If you don't want to disable WhatsApp notifications and you still want to hide messages in the notification panel, you can disable WhatsApp's "High Priority" feature.
In case you don't know, it allows users to manage push notifications in a better way.

When the feature is enabled, you will get all the incoming notifications at the top of the notification center.
This applies to both private and group chats. However, keep in mind that disabling "High Priority" does not mean that you will not receive notifications.
They will appear somewhere in the notification panel if you have a lot of messages.
It's best to disable the notification from the messaging app in the Phone Settings section to be safe.

iOS: How to disable WhatsApp message preview on lock screen
  • Step 1: Open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone and visit the Settings section, which is located in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  • Step 2: Now, go to the ‘Notifications’ option.
  • Step 3: Disable the ‘Show Preview’ option.
Now every time you receive a new WhatsApp message, no one will be able to see any of your messages.
If you follow these steps, the notification will only tell you the sender's name with a "Message" label.
