How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages?
You may not want to see the little preview of text messages that turn up on your home screen when a new text (SMS) message comes in. To turn this off, head to your iPhone settings and go to:
General -> Notifications -> Messages
Turning off 'Show Preview' will disable the text message preview on your iPhone.
iOS 5 UPDATE: iOS 5 and later feature the Notification Center. To turn off the message preview follow these instructions:
Settings -> Notifications -> Messages -> Show Preview -> OFF
You can also use this screen to set other parameters for alerts, including Alert Style.
Thanks so much!!!! This is how it is done!!!!
Go to Settings, Notifications, Messages, Scroll down to Show Preview. This area will also give you other options for your text message alerts!! Good luck

Does anyone know how to turn off the text message alert and vibrate while youre on a phone call?
where is that "show sms preview"??? not in my settings!
i have the 4s and i cnat find that on the password lock the sms doesnt even show up
i dont have notifications in my settings; messages field.... what do i do?
So I figured with all the info given to turn off the little message that shows up! I'm wondering how to hide the name. When a text comes in I don't want the name showing, just for it to say text message! Help:p
It works.. Thanks Guys :-)
no such item as messages in general/notifications/messages
you are wrong! you don't go to general da! if you gonna explain something say it right !
On an iphone 5 go to settings, notifications,messages and turn off NOTIFICATION CENTER. Also turn off show preview it will not show on a dark screen or the slide lock screen nor will it show on your home screen. It will show only on the message icon. 1 drawback is that it will still show if your screen is on....remember...top of screen....notification center OFF. That's the best you can do without an unlocked i5 and using an app such as blacklist... 5's are not unlockable as of today. 1/27/13
I know it sucks and should be better but that's the best I know of after hrs. Of messin
