How to stop whatspp from peeking messages when screen is on ? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hi all,
How can i stop whatspp messages from peeking when the screen is on ?
When the screen is locked , i am able to prevent messages from showing up on lock screen . However when the screen is on ( eg when i am doing some work ) , the whatspp messages peek on to the screen for a brief moment and the messages are visible. I wnat this to stop as sometimes the phone is being used by someone else and they get to see the messages .
The "do not disturb "mode or priority modes silence all other message notifications , hence are useless.
In short i want notifications of my whatspp messages but they should not peek on my screen when its on
Can you suggest a solution ?
Many thanks in advance

pull down notifcations bar, press and hold settings button for few seconds. new menu will be added to settings. go to it (system tuner) other, advanced notifications settings, rturn it on. go to settings, apps, whatsapp, notifications, choose the level you want (no peak would be level 4 I think).

Check out iobit applock. Its free and works great.

For whatever reason , i could not get the System tuner to be added to the settings menu. Holding the settings button did nothing . However i surfed the xda site and found out that by using adb command i could stop the peeking on my active screen.
Follow this thread for more details :https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/ui-tuner-nougat-t3547059 which says --
"System UI Tuner has the ability to set notification levels including disabling message previews however Samsung pulled it out in 7.0. The solution is this command and you don't have to be rooted:
Quote:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
Find more info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...tuner-t3493986"
This has worked for me and i have no more peeking. I have samsung S7 with android 7.0.
Will try on Pixel now.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions

For Now, i cannot make Level base Notification for Custom Applications like Whatsapp. Level Base notification available in built in Apps.

WhatsApp -> Settings -> Notifications -> PopUp - set to "No Popup".
I haven't tested this - but I don't get modal pop-ups...and this would logically seem to be the way to control. Good rule of thumb is to always explore an Apps settings to see what user control it gives you on its behavior - notifications and otherwise.

I tried all available options in settings but I don't see a way out to fix this. Please check my original thread for a video link of the settings option which I get.

Your video appears to show Android Settings. As my response indicated - you need to access Settings within the WhatsApp application....and try to toggle the setting I found.

Anyone having a problem with alerts not showing on the Max 3?

I'm not getting the red dot appearing on any apps.
So the texting app has (on all other handsets) shown a red dot in the corner when there's an unread text. That's not happening here?
I've moved from MIUI to Nova launcher and still the same? Nothing on the built in messaging app or any other texting app?
I am getting a sound alert on incoming texts and emails, but nothing else. So I have to go and look in both the email and text apps to see if anything new is there!
Only had the phone 2 days so could be missing something??
It's the global version running MIUI version 9.6.6.0. Its the 4/65 model.
Thanks for any help...
You have to do three things in the app info section of each app you want notifications for:
1) Hold the app (Nova Launcher allows this), click app info. Turn on Auto Start.
2) Then, go to battery optimization below it and click no restrictions.
3) Then, go to notifications in the same area, customize with led notification, vibrate etc.
4) If the above three still don't allow it to work, then you must also lock the app in recents (lower right menu button), hold the app and lock it.

Notifications not showing up

Hi there
Sometimes when I receive an email the notification will not show up on the phone, that is no sound and no led notification.
However as soon as I press the power button or unlock the screen the notification will pop up.
It is almost as if the device goes to sleep state when screen is turned off.
The emails that I miss at times due to this problem are time sensitive and really important for my work.
Such delays are at times resulting in direct monetary loss.
This was never an issue on my Galaxy Note 3 from which I have upgraded.
Can anyone of you guide and assist me as to which settings need to be changed to get it to work properly.
Many thanks for your time.
I have a simmilar issue here. Some notifications show up normally, like mail and facebook, but other apps only show notifications if i have they are opened.
It's like the system is forcing close those apps.

Still haven't found any solution.
Things I have tried :
1. Going to Power Master > Battery Mode > Balance
Thinking that in other modes it would kill background apps to save power.
2. Went to Power Master > Autostart Manager > Added apps I need notifications to start on system startup.
Apart from the mentioned problem, I see another one.
I opened What's app notification setting and turned Group Notifications off and Message notifications are set to show silently and minimize.
However the app itself changes the setting and forces messages on screen by itself over riding my changes. Have been happening since a long time now no matter how many times I change the settings.
Update if you can find any resolution.

Having same problem. No tone. Just icon ontop. App is not sleeping or restricted at all
It is not a perfect solution but use the Edge Lighting. It will light up the entire edges green if you choose applications colour and show a popup with the message which can be interacted with. As an addition you can turn AOD on and it will show an icon with the notification.

Question Vivo X80 Pro [Origin OS, CN Version] - Bugs & Experiences - Let's share

Dear Forum,
after scanning the x60 and x70 threads about notification issues I'm still struggling with missing notifications and badges for certain apps [in this case Signal and Threema]. What I did so far:
- uninstall com.vivo.pem via ADB App Control
- set notification settings correctly for the apps: (Allow notification, allow smart notification, Floating notifications on (Threema, Signal), Lock screen notifications on (Threema, Signal), display notification details on lock screen, Chats: priority display) // (Home Screen icon badges only for Whatsapp available for some reason)
- set single permission settings for the apps: autostart on, startup on, floating window on, desktop shotcuts on, display on lock screen on, background pop-ups on, Remove permissions and free up space off
- set display settings: show on the off-screen on, show on the lock screen on, show on the home screen on, show in the status bar on, notification method: original icon
- set battery settings correctly: Boost mode, saving mode off, high background power usage on, always on display on, optimize battery life off, auto enable battery saver off
[Phone settings: Drawer style, dark mode, Android Style control center, Vivo Origin System Launcher]
Whatsapp is working: Home Screen notifications, badges, also lock screen notifications - Threema and Signal are not working, driving me a bit crazy. "Sometimes" there is a notification sound, sometimes not. Starring at the lock screen with turned on blue ambilight, it sometimes appears, sometimes not. So my questions:
1) Is there anyone who has experience with Signal and Threema notifications on a Vivo device and could share his/her solution?
2) Should I uninstall also com.vivo.abe and com.iqoo.powersaving?
3) There are no badges for almost all third party apps (Whatsapp badges are working) - is there a way to change it, to get also badges for Signal, Threema, Telegram and so on? (Change Launcher?)
I appreciate your help!

I turned dark mode off, Threema notifications in the status bar are working like 70% now, sometimes they don't - that's so weird.
Is there a solutions for getting badges? Maybe changing the launcher?
Same problem with Google's Messages app, so can't see when I receive a SMS.
I hope they will fix this ASAP.

1) Set settings of the app like in 1st message
2) Set settings of battery/energy usage like in 1st message
3) Switch to bright/light-mode
4) restart phone
-> after doing that, almost 100% of all Threema message are shown as notification. Still struggling with AquaMail, but this will be fixed within next days.

Now at the moment everything seems to work even in dark mode, and even with AquaMail, I just followed this instruction:
https://www.chinahandys.net/vivo-china-version-einrichten/ (German)
No badges in AquaMail but in WhatsApp they work, but I dont need that.

I knew that tutorial before. For me the notifications in status bar and home screen for Threema and Signal did not work having dark mode turned on. Switching to the brigth/light mode the notifications work perfectly.
Considering the badges - I get used to it not having badges for messaging apps.
Just for the readers, you can turn on badges on the home screen for the following apps (Origin OS, Dim9000):
- Designs
- Settings
- iMusic
- iManager
- Kuaishou
- Messages
- Notes
- Recorder
- Telephone
- Clock
- V-Appstore
- Vivo
- Vivo.com
- VivoCloud
- Whatsapp

1) set settings like in post 1
2) unmute chat in telegram (telegram itself)
3) switch into boost mode (battery settings)
4) allow background activity (battery settings)
5) turn off dark mode
6) restart phone
-> telegram is working perfectly for me with settings from post 1 and dark mode turned off. Always restart your phone to get things work. To be honest, this origin os behaves sometimes really strange :/ hope you get it work.

You are right about origin os...thanks again, I didn't put previously in boost mode and I only disabled com.vivo.pem...do you think that disabling is not enough?

What about your battery settings? Maybe before changing the display settings you need to do step 7) and 8) - but I've no clue why your display settings are grayed out. Have you deleted certain systemapps with ADB?
If you find the solution, just share it here.

I tried several things now. Going back some steps and checking again ... always stays grayed out.
I deleted only vivo.pem and some Bloatware. Nothing what has to do with display settings ...
So at the moment I dont know what to do next, but with rest of settings all notifications working for me. Only lockscreen notifications dont show up as well as tiktok notification. But thats more or less OK for me.
If I find out how to change Display notification settings I will share here, for sure.

Good point! If I activate them, I am able to change Display notification settings.
But is it recommendable to have them activated? I thought its kind of too chinese stuff, for being usefull here in europe.

thank for the hint,I think bug in darkmode is the root cause,I can get the notification sound but no visual in notification center, clearmode is ok!
I have reported this system level bug to the PM of iQOO(subsidiary of vivo, they share the same OS) via weibo, hope they can fix it in the later release!
