Four of a kind · 2010-08-23 17:13:01

Have the iphone 4 and I have to say I love it. Never have had one before :) Wonder can someone tell me how do I turn of the sms messages from coming up on the screen? I'd rather they just went into the message app and not show up on screen when I'm in another app etc....

If this is not possible to turn off sms's from appearing on screen, then is there an app to do so?

I would have thought apple would have allowed users to turn this on/off out of the box?

Its a basic privacy need imo.
