Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t have many upgrades compared to its predecessor, but one of the rumored ones is the ability to make its screen invisible to anyone but you, the owner. And now this feature has actually been confirmed by One UI 8.5, the build that the S26 Ultra will be running when it launches.
It’s called Privacy Display and when you enable it, people around you won’t be able to see what’s on your screen. This will obviously be massively useful in public settings, especially on public transit.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display feature
According to the One UI 8.5 screenshots you can see above, there will be two intensities for Privacy Display – the default one, but also a “Maximum privacy protection” setting which presumably takes things up a notch, allowing for a narrower angle of view where the screen is actually visible.
Privacy Display can also turn on automatically under certain conditions, which presumably you will be able to set using the Modes and Routines app. So, in theory, you could have it always turn on when you leave home (or your work, or both – you get the idea). Privacy Display will also have a Quick Settings toggle.
