   Choose Show notification and content

   There are only two choices: Show notification and content, and Don't show Lock screen notifications. Pick the first.

   Back on Lock screen notifications, every app has its own switch under Lock screen notifications are allowed. Search for the app at the top and make sure its switch is blue.

If you do not see this option

• Looking for a way to hide only the private part? Many Android phones can show a notification but hide its text on the lock screen. On our HyperOS 3 phone, Format offers only Show notification and content or Don't show Lock screen notifications.

If this does not work

• Nothing shows, even when unlocked? Check the app's own notifications first: Notifications & status bar, App notifications.
• Notifications silent at night? Do not disturb may be on, or on a schedule: how to use Do not disturb on a Xiaomi phone.

About this guide

HyperOS decides lock screen notifications in two places: one Format setting for the whole phone, and a switch for each app. If either is off, that app's notifications don't show on the lock screen.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode.

In short: Settings, Notifications & status bar, Lock screen, Format: Show notification and content. App switch on.
