How to disable the appearance of a text message on the notifications bar?

By default, message notifications are enabled.
You can see the preview of the message you got on the top bar portion of the screen.
It could be a hassle sometimes especially if you don't want others to see your incoming text messages .
To disabled this feature, you can change this at the messages settings.

Go to your messages

Tap the MENU key

Tap Settings

Scroll down until you reach the Notifications
and unchecked this option.







That's it! You wouldn't see your receive text messages appearing on the notification bar anymore.
