Another of our tutorials is here. We teach you how to activate an option to avoid WhatsApp preview on the iPhone's lock screen and that except us, no one can see the messages they send us.

With this option, we will continue to see that we have received a message, notifications will continue to sound exactly the same. The only thing is that instead of the message that has been sent to us appearing on the lock screen, we will see a notification indicating that we have received a message.

This option is really interesting for those users who do not like to see these messages on the lock screen and obviously does not let anyone read the received messages.

HOW TO DISABLE WHATSAPP PREVIEW ON THE LOCK SCREEN

To do this, it is necessary to go to the device settings and scroll through this menu to the bottom. Here we must click on the tab «WhatsApp» and access.

We will now find several tabs, among which is the "Notifications", which we must press. Once we have entered this new menu, at the bottom we find the option that interests us, which is "Show previews".

Turn off message preview

Here we will have three options to select:

Therefore, we select the option that interests us the most and once selected, on the lock screen we will see a notification like this

Preview disabled on lock screen

In this simple way we can hide WhatsApp messages on the lock screen, but we will see the notification on this screen. If we don't want these messages to appear either, we can configure it as well and it's very simple.

But without a doubt, this new option is more interesting and much more productive. When we receive the notification, if we use 3D Touch (by clicking on the notification) and using Face ID to unlock, we will have access to said message.
