The upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to introduce a privacy feature that prevents others from viewing your screen. Users will have the option to select what remains visible when the display dims, such as lock screen security methods, specific photos, and notifications. This feature is expected to be part of One UI 8.5, launching next year. Integrating privacy protection directly into the phone could provide Samsung with a competitive advantage, surpassing third-party screen protectors. The feature might automatically activate in public places like trains or elevators, but there are concerns about how the phone will detect these environments. It may rely on sensors or location data, raising potential privacy issues. Samsung will need to ensure that all detection processes occur on the device itself to alleviate privacy concerns.
