CensorSender – Censor the Sender in your Notifications

Another day, another tweak. CensorSender makes sure your privacy remains intact when your device is locked. Here’s how you can download this tweak and make your Apple device more secure than ever before.

How CensorSender works

When you lock your device, the stock iOS operating system allows anyone to take a sneak peek at your notifications.

Although the lock screen doesn’t let notification intruders open an app without the passcode, the notification body easily gives away the sender name. That is where this new tweak comes in.

CensorSender censors the sender in push notifications. It is developed by tweak developer Dunkston.

It is compatible with iMessage, WhatsApp, ReProvision and all other non-native applications.

Here’s how it looks like in action.

It comes with an easy-to-use preferences section. Here’s how you can set this tweak up.

• Enabled (on) – Enables the functionality of the tweak.
• Censored Text – Defines the “censored text” that replaces the sender name in notifications. The default text is “Protected by CensorSender” but you can change it to anything you like.

Whether you receive a text-based SMS message or a WhatsApp notification, sender name stays visible – even on the lock screen. If you want to make your notifications a bit more secure and private, this simple tweak is worth an install. Recommended.

As far as compatibility goes, it gets along really well with other notification-based tweaks such as InteliX, ModernXI, etc. Moreover, it works with all Apple devices including the iPhone X.
