It\u2019s something we\u2019ve seen from plenty of screen protectors over the years, but Samsung is baking it right into the display itself this time.<\/p>\n<p>And, as it turns out, the settings for \u201cPrivacy Display\u201d have been around for a while now, but they\u2019ve resurfaced as the Galaxy S26 Ultra launch nears.<\/p>\n<p>Two screenshots show an early version of the settings for \u201cPrivacy Display\u201d in One UI, with the screenshots having initially leaked <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/achultra\/status\/1973610514719842717\" rel=\"nofollow\">back in October<\/a>. They were resurfaced (uncredited, and cropped to hide details from the original leak) by another leaker this week.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>The screenshtos show that Samsung will be able to automatically trigger the feature \u201cwhen you use sensitive apps,\u201d but you\u2019ll also have some granular options for those triggers including where you are, what content you see, and \u201cwhich part\u201d of the display. It\u2019s unclear how the phone will be able to tell you\u2019re in public places (it uses elevators and public transit as examples), but it\u2019s nice that it has the potential to \u201cjust work\u201d without you manually turning it on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"704659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/s26-privacy-display-settings-leak-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-704659\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"704658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/s26-privacy-display-settings-leak-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-704658\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung has confirmed a February 25 event where it will unveil the Galaxy S26 series.
