  • Samsung’s updated Tips app contains a listing for the long-rumored Privacy Display feature.
  • The page reveals that Privacy Display will be located in the Settings app, in the Display section.
  • An animation showing how the feature works was also spotted on the page.

Samsung has been developing a new feature for the Galaxy S26 Ultra called Privacy Display. This feature is designed to dim or hide the display when viewing the screen at an angle, preventing strangers from taking unwanted peeks. Back in September 2025, we spotted code within an alleged build of One UI 8.5 that provided some details about the feature. The following month, more information was revealed when the potential UI for Privacy Display leaked. Another leak has now dropped, and it shows us how this function will work.
