If you own a Samsung Galaxy device, you have probably come across a notification that says “Contents Hidden”. To view the content, you will need to unlock the device first. On some Samsung Galaxy devices, this feature is enabled by default. Samsung says this is a security feature to protect your personal information. Some may be okay with unlocking the device to view the content of the notification, but some people want to see whatever the notification is directly on their lock screen without needing to unlock the device. It is advisable to keep this feature enabled, but if you want to disable it and see the content directly on the lock screen, you have the power to do so. You can easily disable this feature from the device’s settings. Here’s how to disable Contents Hidden feature on Samsung Galaxy.
