# hiddenPreviewsBodyPlaceholder

The placeholder text to display when the system disables notification previews for the app.

```
var hiddenPreviewsBodyPlaceholder: String { get }
```

## Discussion

The string in this property may contain the special characters `%u` as a placeholder for the number of messages with the same thread identifier. If your app declares this string in a `.stringsdict` property list, the system formats the preview message using the information in that file. For more information about specifying a `.stringsdict` property file, see [Internationalization and Localization Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000171i).
