S25 Ultra - Galaxy Watch 'Sensitive Notification Content Hidden'

[raf_shc]

Hi all, had a quick search and I know this quirk is Android 15 specific but wondered if anyone was able to resolve on their Samsung. 

I get the above warning when receiving certain messages or alerts on my Galaxy Watch. Want to switch it off so I get all content on my Galaxy watch. Any ideas?

Bloody stupid. I'm sending my S25 back because of this issue.

This worked for me. 

To allow sensitive notifications on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, open your phone's Settings > Notifications > App notifications, then select the specific app you want to allow sensitive notifications for and adjust the notification settings accordingly; ensure the "Show content" option is enabled on the lock screen if you want sensitive information displayed when the phone is locked.

Yes, it works on the phone itself. This post was for the same messages to be displayed on the Galaxy Watch. I'll see if these options exist on the watch shortly

I just sent a report via support>send feedback page listing the datails, maybe more of us can do it and write back here if someone gets a fix

I got that option enabled on both whatsapp and outlook but it still doesn't show them on the watch

I'm having the same exact issue. Went from a s22 to s25+ last night. Now my multifactor authentication for work won't allow to approve from my watch. Instead it says the "sensitive content" notification. Really frustrated by this. Not sure what other apps it's affecting yet, but this is my main concern.

Hello;

Try enabling developers options. Then enable the sitting in the attached screenshot.

Ok I've just tried this and it works so far!! I'll wait for some more notifications before marking as a solution. Thank you so much.

Hello, just tried as well to disable the screen share protection and for me is still not working.

I have an S25u paired with a galaxy watch5 pro. It's so frustrating that you can no longer see the full content of the notification on your watch. I even tried with the ADB commands as instructed in the reddit post. Still no positive results.

Anyone else has any other ideas or have tried the ADB commands ?

Below you can see the ADB commands used on several packages like messaging app, outlook, teams, WhatsApp etc

for all of them I have the confirmation that the shell appops was set "RECEIVE_SENSITIVE_NOTIFICATIONS: allow"
