Messages appearing on locked screen

How can I hide text messages from the locked screen of my iPhone 4S? I find that having a password is useless as everyone could read messages from the locked screen.


Solution 1:

  • On the iPhone select Preferences -> Notifications -> Messages
  • Scroll to the bottom
  • Turn off "View on Lock Screen"

You have to repeat this for all notifications you don't want to be shown on the lock screen.
