I have turned my preview message off in the text message settings but now I get this box, widget like that show text message. Can I make that blank preview box go away?

Thanks for your patience, nikkid1.

I was able to get more information on the preview.

This is working as per design, if you disable the preview message

option in notification settings, then you will not see message content but will

see general message noticiation with the timestamp and an unread message

count.

I hate this new "feature," too! I want to get rid of that text box and the photos beside EVERY SINGLE TEXT message. One photo of the contact at the top of the stream is enough. And I don't need a pic of myself. Sheesh.

I can't even get the photos of my contacts to show up like they used to now. I thought re-syncing to Facebook would do it, but nope. Awesome update so far...

Thanks for the call out, nikkid1.
At this time I'm not aware of a way to disable that "widget like box". What I will do is go ahead and forward these findings to the software development team. If I get more info, I will be sure to update here.
