How do I stop my text messages giving me a preview on the iPhone 4S?

On my old iPhone 3GS, I was able to stop the text messages from showing what was in them on the lock screen. It would come up with the person's name, and underneath just say "Text Message". However, on my new 4S, I have no idea how to do it. I can't find the option anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

    How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
    Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
    In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
    Select the iMessages account  if it is not selected.
    Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
    Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
    There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line"  select this.
    This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
    You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

  • How do I stop my text messages from my iPhone from going to my iPad. I am being charged twice from my phone company?

    My iPhone receives text messages and they go to my iPad and since I pay for each text message. I want to be able to stop this from happening,  how do I do this?????

    If you are sending iMessages (blue bubbles in the Messages App), and use the same Apple ID on both the iPhone and the iPad messages will get sent to both devices. Its an iMessage feature to sync messages across devices.
    iMessages are not SMS, and as such do not use your text messaging allowance.
    https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/
    Whether you use a phone number or an email if you are registered with iMessage and the person you are messaging is also, your messages will get sent through iMessage rather than SMS. Your iPad is able to receive iMessages, and you'll have the conversation on both devices.  This is a good feature to have if you start the conversation on your Phone but later decide its easier to do it on your iPad or Mac.
    iMessages only work between Apple devices.

  • How do I stop my text messages from appearing on my sons iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4 and my so has an iPhone 5. My other son has an iPod touch. Text messages are showing up on our devices when we weren't texting each other. I don't want to see my sons messages and vice versa. I turned off the cloud and it doesn't help.

    I would guess you are probably sharing an apple ID account with your sons and it is using the imessage feature to send to all devices using that account. This article explains it, but you can shut it off from settings > messages.

  • How do I stop my text messages/iMessages from being sent to other devices on my account?

    Ok. Ive just about had it with my parents/siblings being able to read every single text message I send/receive from their ipad or iphone. Is there anyway to disable this without having to lose all my music, apps, etc. by getting a new account? I understand the "grown up" thing to do would be to set up a new account, and just get off their freakin account, but it would just really suck to have to start all over. Ive never had this problem before until I got the new update. Help?

    iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
    Have the other iPhones with iMessage registered with your shared Apple ID register iMessage on their iPhone with their own Apple ID.

  • How can I transfer my text messages from my Nokia N series to Iphone 4??

    How I can move my SMS messages from my old Nokia N series to my iPhone  4G ?

    You can't. What you could do is import your SMS's from your Nokia to your computer, save them as a PDF, then import the PDF to your iPhone. That way you'd have them for reference on your phone, but there is no way to import them to the iPhone message app.

  • I have the iphone 2g with the $20 unlimited data plus 200 texts, is there any way to keep the tiered text messaging plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s?

    I have the original iphone on AT&T with the $20 unlimited data with 200 text messages.  I know that I can keep the unlimited data plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s, but I would also like to keep my 200 text message plan.  Is there any way for me to keep this feature?  Also on the original Iphone, I could upgrade to the unlimited data plan with 1500 text messages, if I upgrade this feature, will it extend my contract?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • How do I stop iTunes from coming up when I plug in the iPhone

    I don't always want iTunes to come up, only for syncing, when I plug in my iPhone or iPad. I most often just download photos using Image Capture and don't need iTunes for that.
    I see nothing in iTunes preferences (where it should be you would think) about disabling iTunes from starting up when  you plug in the iPhone.

    I'm being careful to rely on help with this as I have in the past 'done what is logical' and wound up destroying files and in a pickle. So I ask this one other related questions then:
    If I want to back up to computer then the 'automatically backs up to this computer' really means nothing as the message across from it says it has never been backed up before even though it automatically syncs then?
    This is very thin ice. I think I do remember in older versions of iTunes a checkbox like the one you mentioned first, but now it is gone.
    Whew. I'm sweating out what to do next.
