in the interests of privacy i would like to stop my texts showing on the stand by screen, it means someone can see who a text is from and read part of the message without going into my phone.

can this be disabled.

i got the latest update today, i wish they would stop changing the look of things without giving an option to use the original style, it now feels a bit gimmicky.

Enter the messages app
menu, More, Settings
The first option is "Received notification", "Show notification in the status bar when messages are received".
Turn it off

Haven't received any updates here in Australia, so I'm not sure what has changed.
Have you looked in the 'Personalize" menu to see if the older look is still available?

thanks ric i have disabled that setting, i asumed it just applied to the status bar at the top of the screen. Im just waiting on a text to see if it shows on the stand by screen  Grin

thanks for your help  Cool
