In additional explanation 2:
I see notifications on my Cynanogenmod lock screen. These are shortened. 
However, when I open the app to read the full message, I do not see anything, 
neither news from the one who sent the messages nor my own sent messages.

in addition: if i send messages to someone else, they could be viewed by the 
recipients.

do you have any idea? could the large version jump be a reason for this?
