Lollipop: Why isn't My Phone Hiding Sensitive Data from the Lock Screen?

A

AC Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I updated to Lollipop a couple of days ago.

When I first did the update I chose to globally enabled "hide sensitive data from lock screen".
This setting (unfortunately) did not work for me because it also blocked the controls from my music apps on the lock screen.

I have now gone back and globally set notifications to allow everything on the lock screen.
I then went in and individually enabled "hide sensitive data" on the apps that I do not want to show sensitive data on the lock screen, the problem is that they still show the sensitive data on the lock screen.

Text messages show the full text and Facebook shows all details (I use the stock Facebook app and also Google Messenger).

Is there any way to remedy this? I currently have the phone secured by means of fingerprint.

( have also tried with PIN and Password security with the same failed results)

Thanks in advance.
