Fwiw, in my Signal app on Android this setting is in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show

Just to clarify, this is within the Signal app settings—not the OS (iOS or Android) system settings. Critical distinction, as merely changing OS notification settings will simply prevent notification content from being displayed on-screen.

#46> testimony in a recent trial Court cases are the real way to audit security. Larping about security and complaining about companies responding to court orders only gets you so far. Its way more useful to look at what actually happens in reality.

I guess enabling Lockdown mode might avoid this particular issue too, together with a bunch of other stuff?
Why would lockdown mode prevent this? I have lockdown mode on but that doesn't automatically make my notifications private.

That's unfortunately less informative if you aren't already one of their subscribers.

My Samsung also keeps a history of notification content. Under Settings->Notifications ->Advanced -> Notification History
Deleting that history is good to know about after the fact, but preferably lets just not create the problem.

#50First, a critical setting for Signal users: "Signal’s settings include an option that prevents the actual message content from being previewed in notifications. However, it appears the defendant did not have that setting enabled, which, in turn, seemingly allowed the system to store the content in the database." Second, how can I see this notification history?
But it was really useful each time I did not see a notification in time.
