[Whatsapp] Notifications only show the lastly received message - General Questions and Answers

Hey everybody,
I guess it has sth. to do with moving to android 7.0 recently (but I'm not entirely sure it has occured on every tested rom since then); my whatsapp notification from lockscreen or drawn down status bar just shows the last received message from a contact, instead of summarizing them to, for example, "2 new messages".
And when drawing down the whatsapp line in notifications, these new messages would have been shown in particular; in my case, nothing happens.
I think you all get the point.
Gmail or other apps still function in the used manner.
This is quite annoying since you read sth completely out of context from someone, until you open the whatsapp chat just to find out he wrote you a novel before.
Thanks.

How to stop new message popup?

Hi all,
I have a HTC Touch running WM6.
As I am sure you are all aware, when you recieve a new sms or email message, a popup is displayed at the bottom of the screen, which displays the beginning of the new message.
This I do not like as it obviously exposes the contents of the beginning of the message (especially in sms) which is not very private, esp. if you are doing something on the phone showing other people.
Is there a way to stop this pop up balloon? Maybe just get it to say "New message" or even just make a sound / vibrate but with no popup and the "no new messages" icon will of course just switch to indicating new messages waiting?
Many thanks,
Jon
Hi, i have a german rom, i hope ive translated the way right;
start settings, sounds, 2nd tab, choose messaging new sms, uncheck show message

[Q] How to see gtalk notifications but NOT message text

Hi,
I've been trying to disable talk application to display text of incoming messages (security risk), while still being notified when new message arrives. Not an option . You can either disable notifications for good, make them pop up (even worse) or have it as it is by default: showing you a line of text from last message you received.
I installed trillian IM hoping it would have the option I need, but with no luck. I'm perfectly happy with talk app btw, but lack of this option is simply plain old stupid.
Does anyone know how to resolve this or some other IM messenger that I could use instead, which has this nice little option?
Cheers

Viber messages won't always show

hi guys, I have the gear s2 for about a day only so far, and is hoping some of you can help me with the issues I'm experiencing.
1. When I receive a message on Viber, the watch doesn't vibrate (have read through similar threads on this already and have tried factory resetting and uninstalling the gear app on my phone). Watch vibrates fine when I receive messages via the default messaging app. I did add Viber to the notification apps on the gear app.
2. Checking the notification area, it just shows me "NAME has sent you a text message" instead of the actual message itself. At first I thought this is as good as I can get it to work, and that it isn't compatible with Viber to show the actual messages, but last night when I went to sleep, I received 3 Viber messages, and this morning, when I checked the watch, all 3 "actual" messages were displayed on the notification screen. So there must be some ways to make this work? New messages I've received thus far this morning have reverted back to "NAME has sent you a text message" notification. I think it is kind of pointless to have a smartwatch that doesn't vibrate when someone sends you a text via Viber, and when you do check your watch, you only see a notification that someone sent you a text message instead of being able to read the actual message.
3. The watch forces you to use the default messaging app, and won't work properly with Go SMS Pro. I've always used Go SMS Pro, because the default messaging app is very slow on threads with a lot of messages. Any workaround for this?
4. Is it safe to use the dock with my Samsung quick charger adapter or do I have to use its own adapter?
I pair the watch with a Galaxy Note Edge. Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed the Viber issue by enabling "Show Message Preview" on Viber settings within your phone app. The downside is, when enabled, the notifications on your phone when you receive a Viber message will also show the whole actual message.
anyone guys? especially #2? Is there a way to make viber messages show the actual message itself and not just a notification? thanks

After using the watch for another day, I found out that Go SMS Pro works with the watch, and you don't have to use the default Samsung Messaging app.
Also found out that when you receive a Viber message from 1 person, the watch will only notify you that you have received a text message. But if another person sends you a message through Viber as well (without you opening your phone yet), then both "actual" messages will start to show on the watch. Replying will still require your phone, as you can't reply though the watch. Weird that this happens and I hope it can be fixed.
Thanks.

Whatsapp problem solved on S8+

OK i use the S8+ and i HAD a huge problem with whatsapp notifications and the always pop up display. I like having the pop up appearing each time i receive
a whatsapp message, instead of that small blue pop box at top of screen. I tried everything to rectify the problem and even emailed whatsapp to sort it out.
As usual i just got a generic reply. All of the settings in the app and phone were all set properly and i was angry.
Besides whatsapp , i was also NOT getting proper text message notifcations, but the same old blue small banner at top of the screen.
What i did next astounded me. I DELETED whatsapp from my phone..................i reinstalled it straight away BUT..............................
Whilst i was installing it again, there are some TICK boxes to complete. The first was the usual stuff like allow all things like contacts, location, numbers etc etc......................the next box it asked if i wanted something to do with SMS settings etc (i forgot now)................i DECLINED this one or ticked NO.
Now.....everytime i use whatsapp i get the proper pop up screen......even in the locked screen, and i receive proper text messages as well. No more small blue banner at top of screen. So i guess if you accept the second box on installation you get the small banner preview box and it therefore conflicts against whatsapp..........and if you declne......you get a proper whatsapp and a proper text message.
Hope this clears everything up

You get the small blue popup when Edge Lighting is enabled, when it's disabled you get the regular Whatsapp popup.

Question NotiStar problem or how else can I turn notification feed into iPhone-like?

Hello, I switched from iPhone to Galaxy A52. Instantly noticed that notification systems are different: on iPhone, I could just scroll down into infinity; On Galaxy, it shows only a few recent notifications. So I installed NotiStar — it solved half of the problem, but new problems appeared:
When viewing from the lock screen, notification bubbles are transparent: I can see background, clock, etc. — way harder to read notifications.
On iPhone when I open notification it brings me directly to the source. For example, I receive a message from a friend, click on it, and it opens our chat. Notistar just opens the application. Most of my notifications come from Telegram, where I have like 100 channels and chats — it becomes tedious to search for the right one.
Sometimes my notifications get duplicated. Happens like: I receive a message in Telegram but don't open it, it appears in Notistar. Then I receive 2 more messages. Somehow they are logged grouped with the first one. The process repeats until I view or clear the received message from the notification center.
Please, tell me, how can I fix all that? If not with NotiStar, maybe with another app?
TL;DR: I want a chronological scrollable notification feed, that will bring me to the right chat when clicked
