I just got a notification from the settings app on my iPhone. I have notification previews turned off, so I can't see what the notification was about until I tap it on the lock screen.

When I do that it simply asked for my passcode then takes me into face ID section of settings.

So I don't seem to have any way of finding out what that notification was actually about. It also seems a bit suspicious because it asked me to enter my passcode. (I notice now that is ordinary behaviour when you enter the Face ID and passcode section within settings).

I thought this might have been triggered by my receiving a text message but actually I don't think it was.

One thing I think I did almost exactly the time that notification was received is add an ICS file to calendar on my Mac.

Wondered if anyone can shed any light.

Notifications in settings are usually about :

  • iCloud parameters not finalised or paiement method expired (iCloud)
  • New version of iOS available (Général / software update)
  • short storage (general/ storage)

  • I found the answer - by realising that I could change notification previews to on, so see what the notification was about. It was telling me I could use Apple Watch to unlock iPhone. Had recently switched on my Apple Watch. Nice to solve this.. Sometimes I'm too obsessed with detail though.. !
