Text Message Preview on Lock Screen

[mvp285]

Hi all.. Question for those of you using the HTC ONE. With the Stock Messaging app on the phone, I like it and all but I have a small gripe about it. I don't get message previews on the lock screen when I get a message. Yes I know, maybe it's disabled to save on battery life, but battery life is not an issue for me on this phone. Anyways, the only way I can get a message preview on lock screen is if I use CHOMP SMS messaging app. I dont like it, I prefer the stock one, but I leave it on so that I can get previews on my lock screen. Are you guys having the same problem? If so, has anyone found a way to maybe Enable the feature so that I can see a preview of my text on the lock screen? Any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

SMS popup is a separate app that used to do it. Without changing text apps.(Haven't used it in a while) There are others too.

You can have text message previews with the stock app. To get them, you need to go into Setting, and then Personalize. Then choose Lock screen style. Change it to Productivity style. You're all set then.

Go to Settings > Security and check Message Notification Preview. This works with the normal lock screen, not just the Productivity lock screen.

Hello!

I'm new to AndroidCentral, Android, and the smartphone. I just picked up the HTC M8 and this thread helped me out a lot (even though it is a year and a half old) Thanks!

I have gone into the settings and got the Message Notification Preview to show but I have another question:
When I have multiple text messages it does not display each one on the lock screen, it simply shows the message icon and the number of messages. There seems to be plenty of space on the screen to show each individual message preview. Any suggestion how to get the message notification preview to show multiple messages on the lock screen? Or any suggestions of widgets/apps to do this?

Many thanks!

Hi 'Central,

First time poster and newbie android user. I am having some trouble getting text previews to show up on my lock screen. I have enabled them via the Settings > Security > Notfications route and they still won't show up. I used to get them all the time but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm hoping it might be another setting somewhere I missed being a new user. If anyone is still listening, PLEASE HELP!

Using the standard SMS messaging app

Thanks for any advice.
