Why don't I have the Show Content on lock screen option in settings for my calendar?

[kmarkert98]

I just had a software update and now I can't see the details of the meeting that I'm getting a notification for. It just says "Content Hidden" or something like that instead of telling me the name of the meeting/appointment. When I go into settings, I only have "Hide content" and "Do not show notifications" for options and I don't want either. I want to see the name of the appointment/meeting on the lock screen. Any ideas??

It's possible some app or account is blocking that content on the lock screen. Go to your security settings and see what's checked as device administrator.

So I figured it out. I had to go through security of the lock screen, not through the calendar settings.

Glad you managed to fix it and thanks for the follow up! It will be very helpful for other users with a similar problem.

Hi,
found this thread.

and what did you change under the lock screen settings? I am missing that option too,
and went to the security of the lock screen , but don't see anything special there?
played with the few switches, but nothing.

Thank you

Welcome to Android Central! First, do you also have a Galaxy S7, or some other phone?

Ok, go to Settings>Lock Screen>Notifications ​(and tap the word Notifications, not the toggle switch). Make sure Details is selected, and Hide Content is toggled off.

That did not work.

I'm still missing that option in outlook

Just to be clear -- is it only Outlook that isn't showing detailed notifications on the lockscreen, or are there more apps than that?

 

[Perry Kappetein]

Only outlook.
When I go to the Notifications in outlook, I am missingcthat 3rd option. Show content

I'm not sure if it's an app-specific thing, or maybe some minor incompatibility that was introduced by a recent update (either of the system or of the app). Send feedback to the developer.

It's something on this stupid phone lol.. my colleagues phones don't have that problem.. been comparing screens and no difference. It's just weird

Do you have Good Lock or any other 3rd party app installed that might be modifying things?
