Whats app notification customisation - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Back on my iOS device I used to be able to restrict what shows in a pop up when I got a whats app message. So I would hear a ding, look at my phone and it would say message from Joe I could then if I wanted open the app.
On Android however I get the pop up message from Joe and the start of the message as well! Am I missing a setting or something?? I would like to not have the message content show at all on the pop up but would like to keep the pop up showing.

Okay cool. Well I know the answer to the 1st one, try this:
Settings-notifications-advanced-now select whatsapp now deselect previews in popups.
In regards to the lockscreen, I think it's down to if what security you have selected, like I have finger print and when I unlock all it says is whatsapp message and that's it, now way to view until you unlock. Now I've not tested it with different lock methods so not sure.

Well had a quick look, it allows you to do it in the default text message app but obviously no mention of whatsapp in there. They very well may have removed this, sorry I can't really look into this enough as I'm on mm, try asking in the Q&A section aswell, hopefully you get to the bottom of it.

No, it´s not possible - at least not with builtin abilities. You can only assign different ringtones for incoming calls

yeah i thought as much, cheers mate.....
I believe there's a Mortscript out there, named MortRing, that'll allow you to assign different message tones per contact. I haven't tested it yet myself so I don't know if it works. Here's the file..give it a try and let us know if it works.

Looking forward to see if that program can cut it.
I too gave up on Mort-Script - its not working really well with HD2. It's was working to some extend - but it messed up other parts of the HD2 phone functions.

This is a service that kills the other service so some battery drain may occur

If anyone would like a link here just say and i will add
how does it work?
auto disable wifi/network data in the background?
or this is something else?
thanks!

This won't hide your last seen status but will prevent you from getting any message outside the app itself
it works by killing the whatsapp background service and prevent it from restarting
Hope this clears the confusion

And the advantage is...? Other than maybe a somewhat better batterylife I fail to see any Usually an app like this is meant for people who want incoming messages to arrive will not constantly using the app.
YMMV of course, probably others will find it genius, dunno

The thing is you didn't receive it , you aren't obliged to answer
No question gets asked from the other side because the message never got passed to you in first place

You can't answer anyway because you HAVEN'T received it. As soon as you open the app and see the message you don't want to respond to you're already "online" again anyway and the same issue arrises. Why don't you answer, you are online!?
It's only of ANY use when you are able to see the message and the other party thinks not.

Got you sir but the app wasn't done for anonymously viewing the message but rather to not to get it in first place
WhatsApp doesn't go offline so you receive messages any time of the day, which maybe sometimes kinda annoying. so this disable the notification from coming if you want to and at the same time the other message stays at one tick so it didn't reach to the other side.

Clear and understood! :good:
What IS handy is that you can "disble" Whatsapp temporarily while still being able to receive e-mail and other notifications. So in that regard: well done indeed :good:
Good luck with the app! :fingers-crossed:

Why not just make an app that will turn off notifications for whatsapp? I do that manually but an easier way of doing it would be great.

Hello,
Does anyone have an alternative ? Use whatsapp in offline without updating last seen or Block connexion data and reactivate quickly of whatsapp only.
Thanks

App Optimization notification is annoying!

It pops up once every couple days and just won't stop, even after adjusting the app optimization settings. Just keeps informing me of a feature I'm fully aware of. Anyway to stop this?
You can go to app notification option by pull down your notification bar and long press on the apps and turn on "block notifications"
What does it want from me?! Is there a setting, besides shutting it off, to disable that?
Oh nice!
I always forget about that feature, thanks!

No, I want the optimization feature active. I DON'T want the notification every 2 days. It keeps reminding me about the optimization feature as if I've never touched it. That on off you're talking about turns the whole feature on and off.
Briankbl is right, long pressing the notification does not give the option to disable the notification like most other apps. I've also been wanting to know a way to disable the notifications without disabling the feature. It's annoying for me too!
You can only hide the lockscreen notifications. Hopefully, at receiving Taskbar notifications every other day, it'll only be 10 or 20 more notifications before we OTA to 6.0 and don't have to deal with it anymore lol.
Any idea if this *beeping* notification is actually still active in 6.0? Or are we just hoping it goes away...because it's aggravating. So very, very aggravating...

Whatever - this only started impacting some users 2 days ago, so these other threads have not addressed the issue or closed it yet. (Yes, this is a dev. forum not a user forum.)
I take it, the notifications cannot be disabled without disabling the entire process.

hmmmm what do you think I was responding too because your answer to me makes no sense. but OK... Have a good day
It's been pissing me off as well, along with the daily volume notification that leaves me on my motorcycle every day wondering why my bluetooth headset is silent. So is this Samsung's meddling again, or is it Google this time?
I have the same issue. Since the last update on my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515). The notification every few days is annoying as hell.
So annoying!!!
I threw my phone against the wall and smashed it because of that stupid annoying notification.
(Well not really but I feel like it)
I finally just turned that stupid feature off. It's not worth the annoyance.

Nah its just that annoying multi app screen, The app pops up when installed which makes me think its the accelometer.
Doing a Google search for it I don't see anything for Launch Manager other than a 3rd party app for the app circle with all your apps. No aftermarket apps installed?

That just brings up a full screen green keyboard.
Which watch face do you have installed? This looks like a stupid pop up ad from some stupid free app...
Weird, something definitely up. I would investigate getting a replacement. "green screen" is one of the color tests but the keyboard is gray with white characters. Scrolling up and down displays different tests.

[App][7.0+][PREV] Direct reply and Dismiss notification/drawer

Hey everybody!
If you're running Android Nougat, you might be often using the Direct Reply feature for responding messages right from Notification Drawer. Once you've replied, you're still right there in the notification drawer. May be that's where you want to be, or may be not:
So, here is an extremely small utility App that basically lets you customize the behavior of the 'Send' button on your replies.
See it in action in this short clip:
I am still experimenting with the functionality, thought it would be a good idea to show a preview to the community. Please let me know what you think about it. Also suggest me a easily recognizable name for the App
*reserved*
*reserved 2*
This is a great idea! Wish I had thought of it, will be very convenient. Any way for us to get it now to try out?
I like the name QuickDismiss, but maybe that's just me
How about DirectDismiss? Looks like a great app, looking forward to trying it out!
hi @jagan2
great and simple concept
i would like to suggest a simple name for the app "Send-x"

I like the idea but the implementation from android isn't good because most of the time you still have to open the app itself. Just want to give you an example.
If you get more than one message you cannot expand them in notification drawer (I know there was a xposed module for that, but we're talking about android 7 = no xposed (yet)). So you have to open the app to read all incoming messages.
If you answer to the message you were able to read in notification drawer the message gets dismissed. If you want to send another statement you again have to open the app itself.
If you could expand the messages, answer (as always after the last incoming message) and still be able not to dismiss the message would be a real improvement to the feature.

Apparently, many Apps on Nougat are yet to implement proper notification creation for Nougat. For instance, WhatsApp just fixed it in their beta - https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5nt5ue/whatsapp_beta_21713_finally_fixes_notifications/
