Previewing Messages in Notifications

    This article applies only to the Android and iOS versions of Celo.

Enabling preview notifications allows a preview of new messages to be shown on screen without opening the Celo app itself. 

  Privacy Concerns

Anyone who happens to be looking at your device when you receive a message will be able to read the preview as well. We do not recommend doing this for shared devices.

If you enable this setting, we recommend that a PIN be set up on your device, and for Celo notifications to be hidden while the device is locked. Otherwise, messages containing sensitive information may also appear while your device is locked.

  2. Open Notifications.
