WatchOS 26 no longer hides message previews with notifications

[felipestrong107]

I put my watch back on, for the weekend, and the issue is still there.
At this rate, I will have to pause wearing my watch again.

Another thing I tried was, when a notification would come through, I would simply not raise my wrist to check the watch. Seems silly, but, I intend on only raising my wrist if no colleague is near me at the time. Some individuals are NOSEY. Just saying...

yeah i think we all are still waiting on this issue to be fixed. it’s so annoying.

Just spent an hour trying to sort this with a series 11 I just bought my wife. Same issue, messages always shows part of the message in the notification even if the tap to show notification option is set. Seems it’s a messages thing as other app notifications work as intended with this option set. Glad to have found this thread

My UW2 is running 26.1 b3 and I can confirm this works as advertised in the version I’m running.

So, we merely need to wait for the official release of 26.3?

26.1 which I suspect is only a few weeks away.
