So i know with the apple iphone if u get a txt msg it just shows the persons name and how many msgs it doesn't show the conversation on ur home screen if its locked.. Does android phone give this feature?
What phone do you have? What messaging app are you using? What version of Android are you on?
With my Nexus 6P on Nougat, I can have the lock screen show all content, hide sensitive content or show no notifications. This can also be adjusted on a per-app basis.
