How to show notification previews on lock screen

On my iPhone, I used to see preview of every notifications that would pop up on my locked screen (email, whatsapp, messenger, tinder, etc.).

I bought a Samsung S8 but just see a flashing blue light and a little app icon... how can I get the previews back?
