Samsung previewed a privacy feature that prevents others from peeking at phone screens by controlling what onlookers can see. Users will be able to customize the feature for specific apps and during passcode, PIN, pattern, or password entry, with multiple visibility settings for on-screen content. The feature can hide specific areas such as notification pop-ups and combines hardware and software methods. Tip screenshots show the notification area blanking out at an angle so the phone owner can view content while nearby people cannot. The feature is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 Ultra and could replace separate privacy screen protectors.
