How to Hide Notifications on iPhone Lock Screen
- On your Apple iPhone running the latest iOS 16 operating system, open the Settings app.
- When the tool launches, select “Notifications” from the list of options.
- Select the “Display As” option on the Notifications settings page.
- Next, choose “Count” from the list of options, which also includes “Count,” “Stack,” and “List.”
There you go. Once you’ve chosen to show notifications as a count, your Apple iPhone’s lock screen will indicate the number of notifications without actually displaying them unless the count is selected.
