Disable Notifications and Widgets on the access screen 

On the iPhone and iPad, incoming notifications are displayed on the access screen. So you can see at a glance what you missed while not looking at your iDevice. You can also open the Message Center from the access screen with various widgets and missed notifications. In this article, we will explain how you can disable this for more privacy.

The Message Center can be accessed anywhere from iOS by swiping down from the top of the screen. The notifications also appear on your access screen and when you scroll to the left you can also see the contents of widgets. For privacy and security reasons, it may be wise to disable this, for example, if you use your bank's widget and the balance is shown.

Disable notifications on the access screen 

You can disable this by following the below steps. 
  • Go to Settings> Touch ID / Face ID and access code.
  • Enter your access code. 
  • Scroll to the Access under lock. 
  • Turn off the switch in the Today view. This ensures that others can no longer view the widgets on the access screen. 
  • You can also turn off recent notifications so that you no longer see notifications from apps.
If you disable both options, the Message Center with notifications and widgets will no longer be visible on the access screen. 

That is it! This is how we disable the notifications and widgets on the access screen so that we only can view them when we unlock them. The one who needs more privacy, this option is very useful.
