How to get notifications on lock screen? Please help

[jpoole23]

Android 7.0

I am not receiving notifications on my lock screen.

I recently put a 'pin screen lock' on my phone for a couple hours on last Monday, was still receiving lock screen for a few hours after disabling the 'pin screen lock' but on Monday night I started to not receive the icon notifications on lock screen. Only the sound and LED light.

Ive tried settings > applications
&
Settings > lock screen and security

But I'm not seeing any lock screen notification options

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Jon

Welcome to Android Central! Which device do you have?

 

[jpoole23]

thanks for helping!

I have an S7, and I should clarify, I mean the 'sleep screen (the screen when phone is not in use for (x) amount of time)

Are you talking about AOD? www.samsung.com/ph/support/mobile-devices/what-is-always-on-display-aod-and-how-to-use-it/

It could be, but I still have the time showing, just the notification icons are not

When I go to display>aod>layouts ... 'show notifications' option is grayed out

'Show notifications' says 'show notifications on the on display screen if a lock screen has been set' ... but I don't want or have a lock screen set?

Are you using any extreme power saving modes ?

No I figured it out, it wasn't showing notifications on display (sleep) screen because I didn't have lock screen enabled?

I enabled swipe lock screen and now I see the notifications on lock screen option in settings>lock screen and security

Is there a way to get notifications on display screen with lock screen disabled?

Without a lock screen lock, No.
