Text message display

Settings> Notifications> Messages> Show Preview> OFF

 

Unfortunately, this feature was taken out in iOS5.

 

Mlrollin91 look again the feature IS there in IOS5

 

Umm...no, it's still there.

 

I do not have the option, my brother-in-law does not, my sister does not, my girlfriend does not and the list goes on and on. Both iMessage enabled and disabled.

Edit: Yes I have been under both message and notification settings. It doesn't effect me or anyone I know but I find it interesting that we don't have it.

 

It's just as Saving posted, go to settings, then notifications, messages, scroll down to where is says Show Preview!

 

Are you SURE you're looking under "Notifications" and not "Messages"?

 

I just checked my mom's iPhone 4S. She is the only one that has it. Her phone was set up as new and mine along with everyone else I just previously named restore from iTunes backup. Something must have been corrupted in the restore..

Btw we all used the same computer.. So that must be the problem.

Yep

 

I have it and I restored from previous backup

 

Well this is just bizarre, I'm in the process or restoring so we will see if that fixes it, I'm sure it will.

 

I just checked my 4S and I have the setting also.

 

Find it really weird that you & a bunch of others don't have the setting. Below is how to get there...

 

funny. reminds me of a problem i had. the switch "automatically join networks" was not functioning on my iPhone from iOS1 - iOS4.

Only when I set up my 4S as new device the switch became functional.

It seems iOS carries over bugs in the settings to new devices.

 

Yeah restored my phone and restored from iCloud backup and it's there. Really weird.
