How do I read details of my notification on my iPhone 12 without unlocking my iPhone?

This is very troublesome, especially with a mask on. I don't want to keep entering my passcode or taking off my mask in public for Face ID in order to see the preview of my notifications on my lock screen. Is there any way to remove this privacy feature?

Hello nikkichanmalichan.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would like to know if it is possible to see a preview of your notifications without unlocking your iPhone, and we'd like to help.


You can absolutely "show the contents of notifications on the Lock screen without unlocking your device, go to Settings > Notifications > Show Previews, and select Always." You can find this info in this article: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Cheers!
