How to stop whatspp from peeking messages when screen is on ?

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:

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.
Phone Nexus 5X, OS : Andriod Oreo

No granular ability to remove notifications for select apps from lockscreen.

Running: lineage-14.1-20170622-nightly-m8-signed.zip
To start - I do know that there are several ways to prevent lock screen notifications.
1) In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"
Of course this is all or nothing, so it isn't really very flexible.
2) Then, if I turn on Power notification controls I can set an app to "Level 2" which includes:
- Prevent full screen interruption
- Never peek
- Never make sound or vibrate
- Hide from lock screen
- Show at the bottom of the notification list
However this is almost totally useless as if I choose to restrict an app to Level 2 because I don't want it on the lock screen, I lose the ability for those notification to have any real type of visibility outside of the lock screen.
It appears that stock N has a switch for each app to control whether that app can show notification on the lock screen or not. Here is one such example.
This is very problematic for an app such as Gmail (or any mail app). I want my e-mail notifications to always make a sound/vibrate, etc...but I don't want the details of the e-mails to show in the lockscreen.
Now I have noticed that if I set a lockscreen with a secure option (other than "swipe"), that there is an option to hide notifications with secure content. In this case, my mail notifications show up without details and simply say "content hidden."
This last option gets me a reasonable result, but it requires me to set a secure lock screen. I realize that without a secure lockscreen anyone can simply open your phone and read the e-mail anyway...but it would be very nice to have the options from stock N that simply allow you to disable a particular app's ability to just show on the lock screen.
Ideas?

You must not of understood the settings. What you mentioned was exactly what your trying to achieve.
In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"

That setting is applied per app and would disable notifications from that app on the lock screen.
Update:
I think I see the confusion. Your accessing the Global Notifications settings and not individually selecting the app before changing that setting. The one you found controls all Notifications. Go into the app like this and change the setting per app.
(GOTO Settings>Notifications>Select App you want and then set On the Lock Screen to Do not show notifications at all(on the lock screen, this app only))
Correct me if I'm wrong but you just want no notifications from a particular app, only on the lock screen but want normal notifications to work while it's not locked. This would achieve that.

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.

Profile settings in honor 7x

Where do i see the various profile options like GENERAL,SILENT ,LOUD in honor 7x

There is no such menu in Android 7.1 . In settings you can set accordingly or by using notification panel.

Watsapp notification in honor 7x
Whenever a new message is received no notification has been shown. Eg. In the top of screen the text will come as " Message from (contact name) ". But in honor 7x its not coming so.

If your notifications aren't coming through then you have to go into the notification settings and tune them to your liking. For instance, mine was set to hide all notification content on the lock screen.
To going to notifications & status bar > notification management > see if your issue can be resolved in there. Then at the top of the notification management screen there is a gear icon, click that and make sure your notifications are turned to "show notification content on lock screen"
You can also go into manage apps and check the notifications for individual apps in there

No luck. Settings all seems to be fine.
Whenever new messages arrives watsapp icon is showing in the status bar. But in other mobiles new messages are notified as eg "message from xda-developer" for a moment and disappear. This message is not coming.

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.
