Feature Request: Add “Hide notification content” toggle to App Lock
Hi everyone,
So i have been using the Nothing 3a for about 7 months now and there is a issue with the “App Locker” feature that’s been bugging me
I’d like to suggest an QOL improvement to App Lock in Nothing OS.
Current Issue:
When App Lock is enabled for apps (Messages, WhatsApp, etc.), notification content is automatically hidden everywhere, even when the device is unlocked. Notifications only show “You have a new message” without showing the sender or content.
This Is Frustrating as i makes me to unlock those apps to read the messages even when i dont want to. I Can’t see who messaged or what they said without unlocking the appSuggested
Feature:
Add a toggle in App Lock settings: “Hide notification content” (On/Off)
- On: Current behavior where it hides the Notification content. (max privacy)
- Off: Show notification content while still requiring authentication to open the appThis would let users balance privacy and usability based on their needs.
Device: Nothing Phone (3a), Nothing OS 4.0, Android 16
Psa: I’ve already enabled options like Show sensitive notifications / show notification content in system settings, and checked other notification-related settings, but App Lock still forces notification previews to stay hidden.
Also, i have sent the feedback through the phone’s internal feedback option.
