Samsung’s next big flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, may arrive with a groundbreaking privacy feature.
A new leak has revealed how the rumored “Privacy Display” could work, giving users more control over what’s visible on their screens in public places.
Leaks about Samsung’s Privacy Display have circulated for months, but now, thanks to a fresh UI leak, we may finally have our best look yet.
The feature, spotted by @achultra on X (formerly Twitter), was found in a teardown of the upcoming One UI 8.5 build. It reportedly makes it harder for others to view your phone’s screen from side angles — a feature that automatically activates when you’re in a crowded or public setting.
The leaked screenshots show that users will have customizable controls for the Privacy Display. You can choose when it turns on, whether it activates automatically, and which apps or content should stay protected.
Interestingly, the feature could even use environmental detection — for instance, switching on automatically when you’re traveling on public transport or sitting in a busy meeting room.
