Show Information on a text message notification?

[Topplayer]

On my Note 2 and my wifes GS4 when you get a text you can see who its from and some of the msg in the notification bar/menu. On my note 3 it just shows New Message and gives no insight

I tried looking at settings does anyone have an idea on how to change it? If i have to I will switch to another sms client but would rather not


Thank alot!

Interesting, with my Note 3, I had the same thing happening (generic "Messages" notification on lock screen and notification bar), went into the settings and "Preview Message" was already unchecked...I checked it and now it works like it should

Is there any way to have the notification of a new text message link directly to the new message, instead of the message you were in most recently? When I click on the message in the notification panel, it doesn't actually take me to the message I see in the notification panel. Any help would be great.

Well, I figured it out. Once you set the "preview message" option, it actually does bring you directly into the message you are previewing in the notification panel. Good stuff!

This might have been some update change with my note 3 but for me I want to Message App >> Settings >> Notifications then checked "Preview message".
