There is no doubt that your Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 looks like an inspired choice. The Samsung Galaxy Note is Samsung’s large-screen phone series, with a powerful processor and amazing camera. Being able to get a sneak peek at the content of an email, a folder, or even a news story without having to fully launch it can be very handy.

Samsung calls this Air View, but it is a sneak peek that many enjoy and I see no reason for not doing that too. All you have to do is hover your S-Pen over an email, a folder, a gallery, or a news story in the Flipboard app, without touching the screen, and you’ll see a preview of what’s inside.

However, you may also want to learn how to hide message preview on Note 8. There are plenty of users who pretend to be simply annoyed with all of the different notifications you get from alerts, text and other pop-ups on the screen.

If you also think that Message Preview is nothing more than a headache or a way of not having privacy and want to keep things private when you’re around other people, you should better hide Message Preview on Samsung Note 8. You’ll be able to disable text pop-ups and customize what you want to appear on the lock screen.
