s4 mini drop down menu...text not showing up

[franknbeans1]

Hi everyone, I've been searching on the forum for a hour + right now. I just upgraded form my Galaxy 3 to the S4 mini.

On my 3 when a text came in, I could pull down the top menu bar and it would show me who it came from and a bit of the message. On the 4 mini when I get a text in and pull down the menu bar it only has "Message Received " or something like that. It does not have who it came from or the first couple words of the message.

Is there any way to fix this?

Are you still using the stock messaging app? The things that instantly come to mind are security settings and the settings in the messaging app itself.

that was it.. thank so much for your time.

It was under the settings in the app. I didn't have to turn this on with the s3.
