The Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a Privacy Display feature that limits visibility from side angles | Infinium-tech

You must have seen the privacy screen protectors that limit the views of the phone (or laptop) screen so that you can see it head, but people on the side cannot go on your shoulder. Samsung feels how to achieve the same functionality without a particular screen guard – and, even more importantly, this feature can be as desired or closed.

Initially seen inside a UI 8.5 code, the privacy performance feature is described in this way: “publicly limits screen visibility from side angles to protect your privacy.”

Now, x user Mud The screenshot is shared that sheds light on how Samsung applies this work. The settings have an auto privacy togle that can enable privacy performance in crowded public places, everything from lift to public transport. Alternatively, you can use a schedule to turn or off the feature. You will be able to add apps for which the privacy kicks in the display.

If we are teaching this right, this feature can only obscure part of the performance-such as a notification that is a pop-up or picture-in-picture window. Additionally, you can choose in the gallery to protect images that have personal information or are tagged as preserved. Screen locking options can also be preserved (it refers to pin, password and pattern interfaces).

A final stage that is dubbed “maximum privacy” reduces the brightness of the screen when the privacy performance is to make things even more difficult to see for people around you.

Now, it was discovered in a UI 8.5 code, but according to it, it would definitely require hardware support to work – according to MudThis Galaxy S26 will be available at Ultra. Therefore, it will not work on older models, even if they update on V8.5. And given the history of Samsung’s cool screen tech to ultra, we will not bet on other S26 models.
