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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-8-5-private-display-apk-teardown-3599649\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spotted code<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-s26-ultra-privacy-display-leak-3603402\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">potential UI for Privacy Display leaked<\/a>. Another leak has now dropped, and it shows us how this function will work.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_rm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766572210_733_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766572211_278_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/galaxy-s26-ultra-privacy-display-animation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SammyGuru<\/a>, there\u2019s a listing for Privacy Display hiding in Samsung\u2019s updated Tips app. The outlet claims it was able to surface this page by using a device that was spoofed as a Galaxy S26 Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>On this page, you\u2019ll find the animation below, along with a few details about the feature. As we learned from earlier leaks, Privacy Display will make the screen less visible when viewed from a side angle. You\u2019ll have the option to turn it on or off and set specific conditions for it to activate automatically, such as when you\u2019re in a crowded area.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Privacy Display toggle\" alt=\"Privacy Display toggle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Privacy-Display-toggle.gif\"\/><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Privacy Display tip page 2\"  alt=\"Privacy Display tip page 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Privacy-Display-tip-page-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Based on the animation, it appears that you\u2019ll find Privacy Display sitting in the Display section of the Settings app. It seems there will also be a toggle for the feature in Quick Settings.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Privacy Display animation\" alt=\"Privacy Display animation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Privacy-Display-animation.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Tips page also appears to include a second animation that shows off what Privacy Display looks like. Just as the description explained, the screen becomes less visible when viewing the panel from an angle. This is true, regardless of whether you\u2019re viewing from the top, bottom, or either side.<\/p>\n<p>With these newly discovered animations, we now have more evidence than ever that Privacy Display will likely be one of the Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s new features when it launches.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
