How to Hide Facebook Messenger Notification Previews on iPhone or iPad

Facebook is the best social media app people are using across the globe. Every day, users exchange a lot of posts, which include texts, videos, GIFs, pictures and more.

Nosy people around you would always like to know who the contacts are with whom you share posts.

From your Facebook notifications, smart neighbours, friends or colleagues would get a hint about your relationship with Facebook friends.

To avoid this situation, you should hide Facebook messages from showing up on your iPhone or iPad lock screen.

When you choose to turn off Facebook previews, you save your privacy. The feature, once enabled, will show you just an alert and not the preview of contents.

You get to know that somebody has tagged you or shared something on your wall. But who has done this will remain a mystery for those prying eyes.

Remember that lock screen of your iPhone or iPad will at least reveal the preview content of Facebook notifications.

You should always keep your device passcode protected. Once you set up a passcode, you can hide Facebook messenger notification previews to achieve complete privacy.
