The iPhone X has Face ID. The feature uses your face as a password and so far, it seems to be quite accurate. It\u2019s easier than using Touch ID and it\u2019s definitely faster. The user doesn\u2019t have to do anything; the phone detects a face and unlocks if it\u2019s you. Face ID is lending itself to another neat feature on the iPhone X. Unless it detects your face, it keeps the contents of notifications hidden. You barely notice it in action because Face ID is fast and it can display notifications at a glance. The thing is, this isn\u2019t an exclusive iPhone X only feature. You can get it on any iPhone that has Touch ID. Here\u2019s how to hide notification content on a locked iPhone.<\/p>\n

Hide Notification Content On Locked iPhone<\/h2>\n

Open the Settings app and go to Notifications. Under \u2018Show Previews\u2019, select \u2018When Unlocked\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, in the Settings app, go to General>Accessibility>Home Button, and turn off\u00a0 \u2018Rest finger to open\u2019. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you next get any sort of notification on your iPhone, the contents will always be hidden. To view the content, touch the home button with a finger that\u2019s registered with Touch ID. The notification will reveal its preview snippet. You can click\/tap the home button to go to your home screen or, you can lock your phone again by pressing the power button. If you don\u2019t press the power button, the phone will lock after a while.<\/p>\n

Not New<\/h2>\n

This is neither an iPhone X exclusive feature, nor is it new in iOS 11. It\u2019s been around since iOS 10. That was when Apple retired the old \u2018Slide to unlock\u2019 mechanism of the lock screen. It was replaced by \u2018Press home to unlock\u2018, and users were not happy about it. It resulted in too many accidentally unlocked devices when all a user wanted to do was read notifications or check the time on their lock screen. Many ended up turning \u2018Press home to unlock\u2019 on to avoid all this.<\/p>\n

The feature is now getting attention again because of the iPhone X and Face ID. Users are noticing that the phone is keeping their notification previews hidden but as soon as they glance at their phone, the preview appears. Granted, this feature is better with Face ID but it\u2019s not that hard to use it with Touch ID. It\u2019s been a whole year since Slide to unlock was binned and we\u2019ve adjusted well enough to be able to make use of this feature now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
