Notification Privacy: Our notifications are very secure.
Privacy has always been a key feature of smartphones. Instant messaging apps typically send a notification to the mobile device containing the user's name and a small snippet of the message. So, if we lend our iPhone to a friend or family member, they are very likely to read a small part of the content in the notification that arrived on WhatsApp or another instant messaging app.
Notification Privacy: Enhanced security for iOS 9 notifications
The Cydia portal brings us yet another of its highly useful tweaks for these situations: Notification Privacy . This tweak provides greater privacy regarding notifications from messaging apps. By activating the tweak, you can configure settings to choose which app it will affect. Once a message arrives on your iPhone, Notification Privacy will automatically hide the text content.
In the tweak's settings, we can also find different options where we can enable Notification Privacy, either when our iPhone is unlocked or even on the lock screen, ensuring that another user cannot see the content of the notifications that appear while the smartphone is locked.

If you want to customize other aspects, Notification Privacy allows you to add text, replacing the one that will appear after the pop-up window appears notifying you that someone has written to you via WhatsApp.
To acquire this new Tweak, we only have to go to the BigBoss repository in Cydia and download it for free. Once installed, it will have a settings menu that focuses on some aspects, such as the messaging service for which we want to keep notifications private, or when the tweak hides them.
