I’ve been struggling with this ‘new notification content hidden’ issue on my Android phone, and I thought it could be helpful to open up a conversation about it. It’s particularly frustrating since these notifications often contain important info I want to see right on my lock screen or in the notification tray.
What’s Going On?
For those who might not know, certain apps—like secure folders or email applications—can hide sensitive content in notifications by default. This is designed to protect your privacy, but it can also be annoying if you’re expecting to see the actual message.
Possible Solutions
I’ve done some digging and found a few options that seem to help:
- Adjust Notification Settings:
You can usually change the notification settings directly within the app or in your phone’s settings. This might allow you to show content on the lock screen or notification tray instead of just seeing that frustrating ‘hidden’ label. - Secure Folder Adjustments:
If you have the secure folder feature activated, you may need to look in the secure folder settings and configure how notifications appear. - Permissions Check:
Sometimes, it’s a permissions issue. Make sure the apps have the necessary permissions to show notifications as you like.

Has anyone else faced this? If so, what steps did you take to solve it, or were you able to bypass the ‘hidden’ content altogether? Any tips or tricks to turn this frustrating setting around? I’m all ears!
