This is quite frustrating and a significant breaking change in behavior from previous versions.
mi...@gmail.com
On Android 15 (vivo x100 pro phone), this also happens quite often. Interestingly, some notifications from one app are displayed on the watch (but also on the computer) in their entirety, and the content of other notifications from the same app remains hidden on the same watch (and computer). It's very, very annoying.

As the developer of FilterBox which is a notification history app, I've been receiving some user reports that some notification contents appear as "Sensitive notification content hidden."
Implementation Approach:
Now Google uses a hardcoded string replacement strategy. Consequently, notifications in third-party apps display messages like "Sensitive notification content hidden" will mislead users. Many users mistakenly assume the notification content modification is by third-party services, not the system.
Impact on Tools and Devices:
This change disrupts functionalities across devices and tools like wearables, notification history apps, and OTP extraction tools. Such a significant change wasn’t mentioned in the Android 15 behavior updates.
Incorrect Content Identification:
Users' feedback indicates that marketing notifications from apps like Gaode Maps, Douyin(Tiktok), Weibo, and even Xiaomi Store are incorrectly classified as sensitive.

I have a similar issue on my Garmin 235 forerunner with AOL emails. I get the notification, but it just reads AOL with my email address underneath. I have no idea who the email is from or the subject of the email. Only that it's hiding sensitive content. I have to refer to my pro 7 to read the email. Almost rendering the watch useless for this app. I am running Android 15 as rolled out on 15/10/24.

“Protecting One-time Passwords from Malware: With the exception of a few types of apps, such as wearable companion apps, one-time passwords are now hidden from notifications, closing a common attack vector for fraud and spyware.”
I understand and support Google's efforts to enhance security by protecting one-time passwords from malware, as outlined in the recent announcement. However, there are some ways this feature might be improved:
- Enhance OTP Notification Detection:
The current method for identifying OTPs is not very accurate. As illustrated, many apps that contain 4-6 digit numbers are mistakenly classified as OTP notifications, including marketing emails, chat messages, and alarms.
- Modify Content Replacement Approach:
Instead of replacing the entire notification content with "Sensitive notification content hidden," consider masking only the actual codes and verification links with asterisks (***). This would allow most existing apps to function as intended and reduce user confusion.
I understand that making changes to an already released feature can be challenging within a large organization. However, please consider the perspectives of both users and developers.
he...@gmail.com
For example:
"Your verification code is 23456. Please enter the app within 10 minutes" => "Your verification code is *****. Please enter the app within 10 minutes"
"Tap linkhttps://example.com/verify/aesd-fghj-klzx to verify" => "Tap link https://example.com/verify/****-****-**** to verify"
That would strike a better balance between security and core functionality, maintaining compatibility that is acceptable for most users without adding significant workload.
"Your verification code is 23456. Please enter the app within 10 minutes" => "Your verification code is *****. Please enter the app within 10 minutes"
"Tap link
That would strike a better balance between security and core functionality, maintaining compatibility that is acceptable for most users without adding significant workload.

This broke my finances app. It used to be able to auto track my expenses from notifications and now I'm in shambles.
Allow me to turn this stuff off. I know what I'm doing. You can't simply force "security" features on people. Especially when there are legitimate use cases such as mine.

I have exactly the same problem as the last comment (#17). I created a flow to send the expenses I get from the notification of some banking apps to some automation tool and now it is completely useless. How is it possible that you confuse a OTP code with a string that includes a dollar sign and decimals? I also don't think it should be up to you to decide what information to display or send to my other devices.

Really, your solution is to simply remove all messages that contain a number? Did you ever consider that numbers are used for many things? At least give your users the choice to opt in or opt out when doing functionality breaking stuff like this.

Pixel 7P, Samsung Galaxy 4 watch - same issue. This is *NOT* an acceptable solution @google... And thank you in #33 for the adb commands, but unfortunately for most people that is not a viable workaround... Google - you must figure this one out and provide a solution that works. My watch *should* be considered a secure device to show *all* content if desired, otherwise what's the point??

Hi!
If you do not want to execute adb command in the terminal, you can simply turn off the "enhanced notification" in the notification settings.

I was hit by this very frustrating problem as well, but was able to solve it by taking these steps (taken from this
- Uninstall the Garmin Connect App
- Forget the device on the phone in the Bluetooth settings
- Restart the phone
- Restart the Garmin/Android watch
- Install the Garmin Connect App
- Pair the phone with the watch and complete the set-up
I then tested getting a OTP from my bank and the notification displays properly on my watch again. My uninformed guess is that this process somehow "resets" the permissions granted to the watch in a different way, so it is possible that just unsetting all permissions and resetting them could also work?

I can confirm that removing notification priveliges, force stopping the app and then granting notification privelages will fix the issue.

Note that the OP only mentions a "wearable device" and provides Garmin as an example. If Garmin figured a way around this, it is irrelevant for all the rest of us, and we should have a UI component to modify this behavior at the very least, rather than have to rely on each application level setting .. On my Samsung, after playing with the adv commands listed, I have regular message notifications from some apps, but not nearly all. If I have notifications enabled on the wearable, I expect to get them ALL unless specifically excluded - it is no more sensitive on a watch than on them lock screen of my phone where they are visible... Kind of defeats the purpose of wearable notifications if I have to dig out the phone to see that I can ignore the notification...
In short - THIS HAS not BEEN FIXED.

I believe this is fixed for me with my Garmin thanks to #57 above. Didn't need to reinstall, but just revoked the app permissions and then gave them back and I now can see my messages again.

If you're having trouble with notification content not showing up on your Garmin watches, you're definitely not alone. It can be a bit frustrating, but there are simple fixes like checking your phone's notification settings and syncing your watch properly. Also, if you're looking into auto finance options, it's a great idea to explore flexible plans that fit your budget. That way, you can focus on your wearables and your wheels without any worries! https://nofightingwithtitan.com/phoenix-auto-finance/

This "feature" is user-hostile. It does not conform to user expectation of functionality and there is no way to opt out of the experience.
wo...@gmail.com
Same story for me. A tracking information from the courier that I received through text messages was cut off because of supposedly "sensitive information". It contained the shipment number.
I'd like such feature to be opt-out at least. Or, as suggested, you can censor the contents by replacing (potentially) sensitive information with asterisks (but still opt-out). But I'd actually like to be able to turn this feature off, because I happened to rewrite security code from my watch to the application, without touching the phone.
Moreover, introducing this feature without any kind of warning caused a lot of confusion. I perceived it as some kind of broken functionality in Android, because it never told me, *why* the content is sensitive.

Same on my Redmi Watch 5. Not a welcomed feature.

Just got a Samsung Galaxy s25 ultra, paired with my Galaxy watch5 and now I can't get the codes from gmail and others on my watch. This is kinda why I have the watch on at all times. If I can see it on my lock screen, I should be able to see it on my watch.
Tried fixing it as pointed out in reddit, but I cannot find any option for "enhanced notifications" anywhere in settings.

Description

User experience
What type of Android issue is this?
Other issue
What steps would let us observe this issue?
What did you expect to happen?
When I receive a notification on my phone, its full contents should be displayed on my Garmin smartwatch, even if the "Sensitive Notifications" toggle is disabled in Android's notification settings. This means the notification content should always be visible on the watch, even when it's hidden in the lockscreen when the phone is locked.
What actually happened?
Starting with Android 15 beta, the watch notification will sometimes show "Sensitive notifications content hidden", meaning only the source app is visible but not the actual notification contents. This doesn't seem to happen with every incoming notification, but I'm unable to identify a consistent way to reproduce the bug. I've also tried enabling the "Sensitive Notifications" toggle, which means they're always visible on the phone lockscreen even when the phone is locked. But the issue also seems to occur occasionally in this scenario.
What was the effect of this issue on your device usage, such as lost time or work?
Moderate
Additional comments
This bug seriously affects the usage of wearable devices, as you can no longer use them for some of their main tasks, such as reading 2-factor authentication codes without having to use your phone.
In my case, I'm using a Pixel 7 Pro paired with a Garmin Forerunner 255S Music watch.
A Reddit thread mentioning this same issue can be seen here, in which at least a user reports this also happening with his Pixel 2 watch:https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/1dzx583/garmin_notification_for_otps/
