How to Enable Hidden Notifications

Keeping sensitive information away from prying eyes is a core value at AppLock Pro. The Hidden Notifications feature ensures that notifications from your protected apps remain private, even when your device is locked or someone else is using it. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help users enable Hidden Notifications within AppLock Pro for an added layer of security.

Understanding Hidden Notifications

AppLock Pro’s Hidden Notifications feature prevents sensitive content from being displayed on your device’s lock screen or notification shade. This only affects apps you’ve chosen to secure. Enabling it means notification previews or texts will be masked, so only you can view them once unlocked.

Prerequisites for Enabling Hidden Notifications

• Ensure AppLock Pro is installed and properly set up on your Android device.
• Grant all required permissions, including Usage Access and Notification Access, when prompted.
• Identify the applications for which you want to hide notifications.

Step-by-Step: How to Enable Hidden Notifications

1. Open AppLock Pro and enter your master password (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, or KnockCode).
2. Navigate to the Tools tab at the bottom of the app screen.
3. Tap on 'Advanced Security' or 'Notification Settings,' depending on your version.
4. Enable the option labeled 'Hide Notifications' or 'Hidden Notifications.'
5. Select which locked apps should have their notifications hidden. Confirm your selections when prompted.

Tips for Maximizing Notification Privacy

• Double-check app permissions after Android system updates, as these may reset access.
• Regularly review your list of locked apps to ensure notification privacy stays up-to-date.
• Combine Hidden Notifications with Spy Camera Protection for ultimate security coverage.

Conclusion: Take Control of Your Privacy

Enabling Hidden Notifications empowers you to protect sensitive information from accidental or unwanted exposure. By following these steps, you can ensure only you access private app alerts. Combine this feature with other AppLock Pro tools for comprehensive mobile security, reflecting our commitment to your privacy and peace of mind.
