A year later and after the release of its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is an all-rounder device any measure. This is why a large number of users are still sticking to it, but recently they’ve been reporting an issue with how the notifications menu seems to work on the lock screen of the device.

Over at the Samsung forums, users have reported that the option to “Show Content” on the lock screen when the device is locked has disappeared from the “On Lock Screen” menu in the Settings.
