With Android 5.0, notifications are automatically displayed on the lockscreen. We show you how to deactivate this in this practical tip.

Disable lockscreen notifications

Note that Android 5.0 is a beta. The settings or the location where you are found may change during development.

1. Open the Settings app from your app launcher.
2. Select the item "Security" or "Security".
3. Here you will find the item "Lock screen notifications". There you can choose whether you only want to block sensitive notifications or all.
4. In some tests, blocking only worked with a lockscreen lock. You can activate this in the same menu.
