On the Moto Z2 play I cannot figure out how to change the notification setting so that when I receive a text I do not get a preview of it in the notification bar. Is there anyway this can be done? I just want a notification I got a text not a preview of the message. Help!

One way to turn it off is to do so in the display part in the Moto app; go into Moto Display, select More Settings (in blue text), then Block apps and choose whichever messaging app you use / are blocking.
Hope this is what you need.
Didn't work
Just tried doing this and it didn't change anything at all.

Worked for me, so terribly sorry.
9.1.3 seems to pretty flawless so far. But there is one issue. Most apps don't get lock-screen notifications. Does anybody else have this issue too?
You can test this with the open source app (no ads) Radiodroid2. It is not possible to get a lock-screen notification for that app, despite tweaking all kind of settings. But it works fine on Nokia, Motorola, Nexus, Pixel devices for example.
---
Just to make sure this is not a config issue ... I wiped my device and reinstalled everything:
- Reset to China beta 8.12.27
- Flashed TWRP
- Wiped data, dalvik, and cache
- Flashed eu 9.1.3
- Flashed Magisk
check advanced setting in lock screen settings for on lock screen setting and notification settings per app like screenshot.

Thank you. I actually had tried that, but it only works for some applications (the minority unfortunately).
Could you please try the app RadioDroid 2?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.programmierecke.radiodroid2&hl=en_US
(It is an open source radio app without ads ....)
I should be able to pause music on the lockscreen (like on all the other phones before), but I am not able to figure it out.
I hope you can do it.
Youre right. You have to go to the app's notification settings, then disable and again enable "Show notifications"... Every Time when you start the app..

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!
Download link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.zunder.edgelightingfixforallappsv2
Sounds amazing, will test and report. Thank you!
Warning : there is a new version of the app ont the Play Store, but it is actually a new app because, for whatever reason, Play Console started to reject my updates...
The first post has been updated with the new link.
You have to set it up again, but I've implemented the search function so it will be super fast

Keeps disabling the apps I choose whenever I close and reopen the app
If I keep the app open, when I receive a message from WhatsApp which I have set to use Edge Lighting, it just turns the screen on instead of Edge lighting

Thank you for pointing this out.
It was a minor but very disturbing variable name bug when using the search function . The app wasn't disabled, it was just a switch display issue. If you scroll down the list without using search, you'll see your app is enabled.
Issue has been fixed, new package has been uploaded, update should be available on the market within an hour.

Make sure you have enabled my app in the Edge Lighting notifications settings screen (and obviously turned on edge lighting when screen is off). See in-app detailed instructions.
Edge Lighting prevents apps from turning the screen on, so if my app is able to turn it on, it means the issue relies in the edge lighting configuration panel.

Ah yes, thanks I had missed that toggle for notifications settings somehow even after reading the instructions, I think I opened it and saw that my 3 apps I wanted to use were checked but forgot to enable your app too
Thanks for the fix :good:
EDIT - Doesn't seem to work, I have everything set correctly, but nothing happens when I receive a message, just the normal LED flashes
Well I've tried again with the latest update (7th June) and nothing, does not call Edge Lighting when i receive a notification from one of the apps I set up, phone acts as if the app is not even installed, nothing happens other than LED notification
Can't work out what could be wrong as I have set this up like 5 times now following instructions to a T, made sure all toggles are on as directed, permissions granted, nothing

Did you go to edge lightning style > custom color and entered the app name under "By text" menu?
It worked for whatsapp on my S9...
I uninstalled it because I already have app with the same concept called "Glimpse notifications".
But if you want to customize the style for separate apps, the app in question is the way to go.

Didn't change any custom colours no, just left it as default as I just wanted my default edge lighting to work for all apps selected but absolutely nothing happened
Glimpse looks interesting though

If you didn't do what I asked in my first question, the app won't work.
"Glimpse notifications" basically triggers the app to turn on the screen when it receives a new notification, and if you had turned on edge lightning when screen is off, the effect will be shown instead of turning on the screen.
But if you want to allow many apps, the color and the app icon will be the same for all of them.
It's a bit confusing though, in the app selection, you need to check what apps to ignore, not apps to use. And you need to follow the instructions to avoid samsung's battery saving behaviour. Personally I didn't experience any kind of additional battery loss...

Did not know setting custom colours in this app edge lighting was a requirement, but just to have custom colours if you wanted them otherwise your default colour would be used for all apps added
Have not tried Glimpse yet but will give it a try at some point thanks, shame Samsung can't get their own edge lighting working considering the setting is there to do what these apps are doing

The requirement isn't exactly to customize colors, it's to enable edge lighting by text (app name) as you can read in the instructions, because edge lighting can't distinguish between different apps since there's one app doing all this. I don't know how to explain it exactly, I think if you follow ALL the instructions you'll understand what I mean.
And yes, you are right, samsung should fix this as soon as possible.

Not sure what you mean, it does not state anything about adding by text in the instructions, just to enable in notifications and enable the apps you want to use it with, which I did
The only thing about adding via text is for custom colours which I did not want so did not do, going from what the instructions say "All you have to do now is check the desired apps in the main screen" nothing at all about adding text

These 4 steps are literally the only requirements the detailed instructions say are needed to get it working, anything else is optional (Custom colours) and these are all enabled on my phone

I have just received a WhatsApp message and with those above settings again nothing happened, so I have added Edge Lighting Fix app as a custom colour by text, if this fixes it it needs to state in the "Detailed Instructions" that this is a required step, not sure it is though as the app is already sitting there enabled in the custom colours section along with WhatsApp and other apps I have set, making my addition a second entry of the same app

Bro, in the last screenshot under By text menu, you should enter the app name like WhatsApp, not the edge lighting fix app.

Even though they are all already added at the bottom ?
But like I said, this is only for custom colours, the app should work regardless, the instructions say that part is only for custom colours, not to get it working
Thanks for the help but can't be bothered reinstalling and setting it up for the 10th time Might try that other one you suggested some time

Yes even if they were added at the bottom. Because the Edge lighting fix app can't detect these apps, it only detects the names you have written under "By text" menu, it's one of the instructions...

In your first screenshot, you need to scroll down, that's what I remember. I already uninstalled the app, but try it and you'll see that it will work.
The app just won't work with the Messages app from Samsung.
Messages can generate edge lighting with screen off on its own, and my app can't handle that behaviour atm. Just enable Messages in the edge lighting notification settings.
Hi all,
Yesterday I noticed that my always on display icons have changed from their previously nice loooking grey scale icons into hideous colour ones. The whatsapp icon also used to show a computer icon to indicate I had whatsapp web open and the regular icon if I had an unread message. Now it just shows an ugly green icon regardless.. Has anyone else had this happen and know how I can reverse it? I didn't see any notifications to indicate an update and they're set to not auto install. My MIUI version is 11.0.2.
Cheers

Go settings-notifications-notification bar-pick android.
This doesn't affect the notification icons on the always on display unfortunately.
I fixed it! I installed the apk from the following link that I found from another thread. Apparently it adds more apps icons too!
