Galaxy S26 Ultra Will Use AI to Stop Strangers From Reading Over Your Shoulder

Remember that whisper from August about the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s AI Privacy Display? Turns out, it wasn’t just hot air. Fresh screenshots confirm the rumors are real, bringing a whole new level of secrecy to your screen.

Samsung’s Privacy display feature gets confirmed via leaked screenshots

Leaked screenshots, purportedly from the first One UI 8.5 build by X user ‘Ach,’ hint at a fascinating new "Privacy display" feature. Think of it as a built-in privacy screen protector – shielding your sensitive on-screen content from prying eyes beside you.

Remember those old-school privacy screens? They transformed your phone’s display into a top-secret briefing, visible only to you. Nosy neighbors on the bus? Forget about it. Side-eyeing colleagues trying to steal your brilliant ideas? Nada. Your screen became a laser-focused beam of information, shielded from prying eyes with a cloak of pixelated invisibility.

Imagine silencing distractions with a tap. That’s the promise of this feature pure software magic, no extra gadgets needed. Best of all? You’re in control. Dive into your phone’s settings and switch it off whenever you crave the noise. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype!

Worried about prying eyes on your screen in public? Our new feature keeps your information under wraps. Activate "Auto Privacy" in settings and watch as your display intelligently shields itself from side-angle viewers when it detects you’re surrounded – whether battling the rush hour train, crammed in an elevator, or simply navigating a crowded café. See the "Auto Privacy" toggle in the screenshots – your personal force field against visual eavesdropping.

You’ll be able to choose between automatic or manual use, and specify which apps to take advantage of it

Alternatively, for those who prefer a hands-on approach, manual configuration is readily available. Dive into the ‘Custom conditions’ – the key to precisely orchestrating when this feature activates. Fine-tune the settings to the exact moment it springs to life.

Plus, tailor this feature to your needs by choosing specific apps. Want top-notch security only for sensitive apps, like your mobile banking? Done.

Whispers in the tech world suggest a thrilling new feature is poised to explode onto the scene with One UI 8.5! Currently under wraps in its beta phase, this iteration of Samsung’s OS is heavily tipped to make its grand entrance alongside the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S26 series, slated for a January unveiling.
