Having notifications come through on the lock screen can be handy because you don’t have to unlock your phone to see what the notification is about.
The problem with this is that someone may see the content of a notification (a text message for example) which you would like to keep private.
To change this setting to only display that the notification has arrived (rather than the actual content), then go to Settings – Lock screen and security.
Then select Notifications on lock screen
From here you can enable or disable which apps you can show notifications from or at the top, select to Show or Hide notifications.
If you want to check how much RAM you have available, drag down your notifications screen and select Settings.
Then under Device, select Applications and then Application Manager.
Then swipe from right to left so you see the Running Apps.
At the bottom it should say how much is used and how much is free.
If the above doesn’t work, then go back to Settings and select Smart Manager. This should show your Battery, Storage, RAM and Security Options.
