Samsung is developing a software-based Privacy Display feature, offering users control over screen visibility in public settings. This functionality mirrors the effect of physical privacy screen protectors, restricting the viewing angle of the display to protect sensitive information from prying eyes.
Evidence of this feature was first discovered within the One UI 8.5 software code. The description accompanying Privacy Display states its purpose: “Limits screen visibility from side angles to protect your privacy in public.”
Recent information shared by X user Ach provides insight into the feature’s implementation. The functionality is designed to be highly customizable, allowing users to tailor its behavior to their needs. Specifically, an “Auto Privacy” toggle is available within the settings menu, enabling Privacy Display automatically when in potentially crowded environments such as elevators or public transportation. Moreover, users can schedule the feature to activate and deactivate at specific times. Application-specific configurations are also supported, allowing users to designate which apps should automatically trigger Privacy Display when opened.
