Samsung introduced the Privacy Display feature for the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra at its Unpacked event. The technology prevents visual hacking by obscuring the screen from side angles while maintaining clarity for the direct user.
Samsung developed this integrated hardware and software solution over five years. The system allows granular control, enabling users to apply privacy settings to specific applications or individual notifications.
Marketed as privacy at a pixel level, the feature aims to eliminate the need for third-party screen protectors. The solution integrates directly with the existing Samsung Knox security framework.
