Hiding text messages on an iPhone can be a useful privacy measure to prevent others from accessing sensitive or personal conversations. There are a few different ways to hide text messages on an iPhone, including using the built-in “Hide Alerts” feature, moving messages to a hidden folder, or using a third-party app.
The “Hide Alerts” feature is a quick and easy way to hide the content of text messages from appearing on the lock screen or in notifications. To use this feature, open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages and toggle the “Show Previews” option to “Off”. This will prevent the content of text messages from being displayed on the lock screen or in notifications, but the messages will still be accessible in the Messages app.
