Respond to Notifications from Lock Screen

[Kirk Burkhead]

Is there a way to be able to respond to notifications (texts and emails) from the lock screen? I see the notifications and the option to delete or reply, but if I but reply, it makes me unlock the phone. Pretty sure I could reply without unlocking on my S7.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Do you have any pin or password enabled on the phone?

 

[Kirk Burkhead]

Yes, fingerprint.

You must unlock to reply/respond. You have the option to see the text or email on the lock screen but to reply you have to unlock

I can reply WhatsApp messages on notification without unlocking my phone..

I wouldn't want that feature. Someone can pick up your phone and send an obscene reply as a prank or out of spite.

Actually figured it out with the use of the Textra app. Textra wakes lock screen and i can reply without unlocking phone. All good now.

don't worry. this feature cannot be enabled unless you setup trusted face (or something equivalent).
