So does every app, go to iOS settings > notifications shows previews > never.
- elashri 6mo agoI wish it can be disabled for particular apps and not an all or nothing situation.
- Barbing 6mo agoCan be! Settings > Apps > choose an app > Lock Screen Appearance: Show Previews - Never
- marcus2026 6mo agoThe message text is still sent to the push notification server from the app's infrastructure - this setting simply stops the phone from displaying the message. The app itself must choose not to send the message text in the push notification.
- bradyd 6mo agoThat setting is available for each individual app.
- Barbing 6mo agoIs setting it from Signal directly more trustworthy? Or maybe it’s impossible for iOS to store the preview content if it never showed in the first place, but not sure if it’s even documented.
- rvnx 6mo agoMost likely changes the preview on the client-side, but the message is still full on the server-side

- solenoid0937 6mo agoCorrect, parent comment is spreading misinformation/false sense of security.
- ThePowerOfFuet 6mo agoSignal does not have the plaintext of the messages and therefore could not send it as part of the notification.
- chislobog 6mo agoApparently if I’m reading the work of others correctly a notification component and subsequent other interaction logs, in this case that the notification was not generated, is also logged in knowledgeC pointing to at least some metadata of non-notified messages logged.
- privacyking 6mo agoThe signal app does and does the OS once the notification is displayed. The latter is where this issue originates
