Hi

I'm having a couple of little issues with notifications on iPhone X (set up using a back up from my previous iPhone 6s):

  1. when a notification for a text, WhatsApp etc. comes through, its simple says "Notification" in place of name/phone number - the relevant banner pops up, but there is no name or telephone number
  2. I'm getting email notifications for junk email - it's going to the junk email folder, but I'm getting a notification which I never got before

I've had a look through notification settings, but no joy...


Thank you in advance...
 
For your #1 issue, this is set as default on the iPhone X, for privacy concerns being it has Face ID. You'll need to go in to Settings > Notifications > Go to each App and change 'Show Previews' to Always.
 
Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I had wondered if it was a privacy issue, on my 6s I set to "no previews" but it still showed the sender/number. I have it set to no previews on the X as seeing part of the text or email is simply annoying!

Thanks again
Neil
 
The attention feature is nice. I have X in a dock next to my computer. I see a notification come from my peripheral vision. Glance at the phone it unlocks and shows the complete notification.
