Hide the Messages application completely by using a third-party app

There was a time when it was possible to install a third-party application on Android phones that allowed you to hide individual text messages, but you no longer waste time looking for it. Changes to Google’s application permission rules mean that applications can no longer access contacts or messages.

Conclusion

As you can see, Samsung offers you many possibilities to customize the lock screen and notifications. In this settings menu, you can see a preview of what these notifications look like. So you can make changes and get exactly what you want.

If you select the option to hide content, you will always see notifications and know that you are receiving text or email. The phone simply hides the content and preview from prying eyes. This provides extra security for those who need it.
