when i receive an sms it appears on screen in front of everybody indiscretion ...
how can i hide an sms coming in ? you get it ?

I'm far removed from the playboy I once was, but if I had an iPhone back then, I would have needed to get creative. Even if the name wasn't shown, a nosy GF who I gave access to my iPhone could rifle through my texts. I have a friend who enters a different name for a contact's phone number who they don't want someone else to know or be aware of.

  • When I receive an SMS message, how do I find out the phone number it came from?

    When I receive an SMS message from a person in my address book, the Messages app in my iPhone shows the name of the person who sent the message.  At the top of the conversation, I can tap the word "Contact", which brings up the Contact's name, a phone icon, a camera icon, and a letter i in a circle.  If I tap the i, it brings up the sender's record from my address book.  How do I know which of the sender's multiple phone numbers is the number that he sent the message from?

  • This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in.

    This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in, even though my friend hung up. It kept going and going, so I tried holding down the lock button to turn it off but screen was still black/turned off. Hitting home did nothing. My friend said to try holding down the lock button and home button together to reset it. I tried this and yet nothing happened. I am waiting for the battery to drain out and give it a try.

    To reset, you have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears - takes 10-15 seconds.

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

  • When I receive an sms from a particular contact the message comes through saying "voicemail"

    I have a contact in my phone who I have recently added with her name and surname.
    When ever she sends me a text, the notification pops up saying the sms is from "voicemail"
    When I go into the messaging app it says her name and when she calls me it says her name as it is stored in her contact page.
    I have searched through the phone looking for where the voicemail number is stored to make sure i haven't accidently put her number in that spot.
    I am at a loss as to what is happening with this!
    Any ideas?

    No. This is not a current feature of iPhone. To suggest it, go here:

  • Receiving duplicate SMS messages

    I am using the Sprint Blackberry 8830 WE in Berlin, Germany using a pre-paid Vodafone SIM card.  When I receive an SMS, I get the same SMS message multiple times at regular time intervals:  At first the messages are close together (1-2 minutes apart), then they're hourly, then daily.  Since I send SMS with multiple people, I'm bombarded with SMS messages throughout the day and night.
    I've used this phone in Vietnam and did not have this problem.
    I suspect that the phone carrier is not getting a confirmation that the SMS was received so it tries again, but I'm not sure.  Is there any configuration setting I should look out for?

    By default all the email messages will arrive in your Messages folder as well as the designated email folder. This is not duplicate emails and it's not consuming any additional memory in your device.

  • Receiving phone call will in full screen mode

    There's an annoying problem with the new continuity function for receiving phone call on Yosemite.
    Let's see i'm watching a video in full screen mode, then i receive a phone call, the video Hide itself (Mission Control) but did not pause.
    So if i answer the call, i still have the sound from the video, and i have to go in Mission Control (yes i'm using shortcut) to show the application to pause it.
    First i would like the video to pause if i answer the call, and if not it disappear without hiding my video.
    I would like to have the same notification has the Messages, when i receive and SMS or iMessage, there's a small notification rectangle that appear over the video and disappear after few second.
    Both Message and FaceTime have the same settings in the Notification System Preference.
    I've tried everything that i know, made some research on the internet with no luck.
    I've tried that on 3 different macs (Mac Pro 2008 with upgraded Bluetooth card, MacBook pro Retina and Mac Mini) using iTunes, Quicktime, VLC and Safari for viewing full screen video.

    Check the software/game settings

  • Is it possible to setup my Do Not Disturb mode not to vibrate but to let banners appear when I receive new messages?

    Hey!
    I just got a new iPhone 5S and I've been trying to adapt it to my needs.
    I do remember that on my 4S, I only switched between silent (with vibrate) and do not disturb modes.
    When I was using the phone on do not disturb, it did not vibrate but a banner appeared when I received a new SMS or Whatsapp.
    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this on my new phone.
    Now it seems that I have to choose, when in do not disturb mode, between a completely silent phone (no vibrate and no banners) or a vibrating phone + banners when I receive new messages...
    Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Thiago

    Thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, when I do this DND also disables notification banners... So when I receive a message I don't even know I did...
    I'm going to try to be clearer: when the phone is not in use, it works just as I want it to. When only in Silence mode, it vibrates when I get something new; when on DND mode, it is completely muted.
    My problem is when I'm using the phone on DND mode (for example: on the bed next to my girlfriend who is asleep), I would like to have banners for SMS and Whatsapp, but no vibration, so as to know that I got a message but discretely.
    If I put on Silence notifications > Always, it does not vibrate, which is good, but it doesn't show me that I got a message at all. If i put on Silence notifications > Only while iPhone is locked, it vibrates when I receive a new message

    Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

  • Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit.  I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared.  Then, multiple contacts started disappearing.  Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate.  I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync.  I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in.  Everything seemed to work after that.
