Your phone or tablet’s lock screen prevents people from getting into your device, but there’s still information that can be gleaned from notifications on the display itself. Thankfully, Android makes it easy to hide content on your lock screen. Android allows you to hide what it calls “sensitive content” from notifications on your lock screen.

Before we dive in, it’s important to understand that face unlock on Android devices, such as a Samsung Galaxy phone, is not as secure as Apple’s “Face ID.” iPhones are using a variety of sensors to detect faces, whereas Android devices are typically just storing a photo of your face.
