I checked whatsapp notification, under popup notification I selected no popup. When the screen didn't lock it will show the msg content, but if screen lock it will hidden the content. For my understanding samsung or iphone can be work for hidden content.

There doesn't seemed to be a way to do so, it's not an android restriction or Xperia restriction but an app issue, contact whatsapp developers regarding this request/suggestion

Indeed, that's standard with android, do contact whatsapp and keep us updated.

My assumption is that you want to enable 'hide sensitive content' meaning when your phone is locked you want to receive notification from whatsup without showing the content, am i right? You have to set a security level (PIN, password, or pattern), otherwise this option is not available. And after that you will have the functionality (at leats for watsup)
