Step by step

1. 

   Open Lock screen and AOD

   Settings, Lock screen and AOD. There is no Notifications row on this page on One UI 8.5. Scroll to the bottom and tap Lock screen notifications under Looking for something else?.

   Done

2. 

   Check Show notifications

   This switch decides whether notifications appear on the lock screen at all. It was on on ours.

   Done

3. 

   Check Show alerting notifications only

   The note under it says it: with this on, silent notifications are not shown on the lock screen. Switch it off if those are the ones you miss. It was off on ours.

   Done

4. 

   Decide about Hide content while locked

   Settings, Notifications. This option chooses whether the content of a notification is hidden while the phone is locked, which keeps message text and codes private.

   Done

5. 

   Know the other way in

   Samsung's own guide for One UI 7 gives the path Settings, Notifications, Lock screen notifications. On our One UI 8.5 phone the row on the Notifications page is called Lock screen, under Appearance.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Your phone is on One UI 7 Samsung's One UI 7 guide gives Settings, Notifications, Lock screen notifications. On our One UI 8.5 phone that row is called Lock screen, under Appearance. Source: Where can I find the lock screen notification settings in One UI 7?
• The page says notifications go to the Always On Display On our phone, with no screen lock set, the Lock screen notifications page said: You haven't set a screen lock. Notifications will be shown on the Always On Display. Set a screen lock to see them on the lock screen.

If this does not work

• Only one app is missing Samsung says that if notifications for an app are turned off, you will not get them. Check Settings, Notifications, App notifications and turn the app back on. Source: Galaxy phone vibration not working when receiving calls or notifications
• Nothing shows at night Samsung says Do not disturb, and modes such as Sleep, can stop notifications. Check Settings, Notifications, Do not disturb, and Settings, Modes and Routines. Source: Galaxy phone vibration not working when receiving calls or notifications
