Change how Your Phone app Notification Banners Display in Windows 10


When the Action Center in Windows 10 gets a new notification, it will briefly show a notification banner above the taskbar notification area to let you know.

After you link your iPhone or Android phone to your Windows 10 PC, you can use the Your Phone app on the PC to view notifications forwarded from your Android phone or iPhone on your PC, and much more.

The Your Phone app in Windows 10 has a notifications feature that lets you control how much detail you want visible on notification banners sent from your phone to your PC. You can select to have these notification banners show with previews, show with sender only, or hide all content to be less distracted or for privacy reasons.

This tutorial will show you how to choose how to display Your Phone app notification banners on your Windows 10 PC.


EXAMPLE: Your Phone app notification banners set to display with "Hide all content", "Show with sender only", or "Show with previews"
