I don't like how when I get an iMessage or any text, how it just pops up right in the middle of the screen. There's no privacy whatsoever.

My Wife might text me saying bang me hard tonight. Or my Brother asking lets grab bag o weed tonight.

Joking.

But I don't like texts popping up like that. Is there way to change a privacy setting ? Or have them just show up in status bar only or something ?
