    The ONLY thing I hate about iOS and iPhone that I like better on Android is the way the notifications work. I like how you can see your notifications on the lock screen, just don't like that it shows the content of a text, or Facebook message, or a message on Kik, or whatever.

    Is there any way to change this? I feel like I can't leave my phone out in the open when charging, otherwise people can see what I get when a new message comes in.

    I'd rather have no notifications on the lock screen than keep things like they are now.

    You can change what shows for incoming text/iMessages the rest is limited really. Wait for iOS 7 it should offer a lot more.

    Just turn off "show on lock screen" and you're good.

    I'd like this option as well.

    In old versions of the Facebook app the notifications were "<name> has sent you a message.", which was appropriate. Even so it was too much information, because people looking at my lock screen could see the name of the person that messaged me, but I could live with it.

    But having a preview of the message? No thanks.

    For the lock screen I'd like a simple icon of the application that wants my attention. For now I have lock screen notifications disabled.
