Managing Previews and Alerts
By default, iPhone displays a preview of new messages when iPhone is locked or you
are using another application. You can turn this preview on or o in Settings. You can
also enable alerts for text messages.
Turn previews on or o: In Settings, choose Messages and tap Show Preview.
Repeat previews: In Settings, choose Messages and tap Repeat Alert. If you don’t
respond to the rst preview of a new message, the preview will be displayed twice
more.
Set whether an alert sounds when you get a text message or preview: In Settings,
choose Sounds, then tap New Text Message. Tap the alert sound you want, or None if
you don’t want an audible alert.
Important: If the Ring/Silent switch is o, text alerts won’t sound.
