iOS 10 lock screen makes it easy for anyone to read text messages – how to stop them

Apple's iOS 10 might be the most helpful update it's ever put out. But it's also good at helping people who want to wind you up. The new update makes it easier than ever to discuss things, opening up notifications so that they are actually little versions of the app. And that's mostly useful – it means that you don't ever have to open the Messages app to reply, for instance, but can instead do everything from the lock screen notification. Those notifications can be accessed by anyone – since they come up on the lock screen, there's no authentication needed to start sending messages to people in replies.
