- Samsung has teased its upcoming Privacy Display feature for the second time
- The teaser shows it being used to hide the entire screen from prying eyes on a train
- A leak has also shown the various toggles and options you can get with Privacy Display
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S26 series won’t be huge upgrades over their predecessors in general, with leaks pointing to the phones having similar designs and specs to the Samsung Galaxy S25 line. But the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra looks set to get at least one massive upgrade — and it’s one that Samsung has just teased for the second time.
We’re talking about Privacy Display, a feature that will allow you to block some or all of the screen when viewed from the side, so people wouldn’t be able to easily peek at what you’re seeing.
Look at
As you can see, phones with this feature will have a switch that can hide the entire screen from anyone who doesn’t see it in front, so if, as in this video, you’re reading a spicy story on the train, you can do so without attracting unwanted attention.
The video ends by saying this feature will arrive on February 25, which is when we expect the Galaxy S26 series to launch – but leaks so far suggest it will be exclusive to the Ultra model.
Customizable privacy
In any case, while this video only shows a single switch to lock out the entire screen, it’s likely that Privacy Display is smarter than that.
First, the company’s previous teasers suggested you could use it to delete specific messages, for example, and we’ve also now seen leaked screenshots showing the various Privacy Display toggles and options.

You can also set it to turn on when you’re in public, and switch it to specifically hide your screen lock, photos, notifications, and picture-in-picture.
If these images are accurate, it looks like this tool could be quite customizable and extremely useful; We’d take these screenshots with a grain of salt though, as there are several typos and the text is inconsistent as to whether Privacy Display should be capitalized, as well as sometimes calling it Private Display instead.
Now, this could just be an early version of the software that hasn’t had the language polished yet, but it could just as easily be a fake – we should find out soon as February 25th is only about a week away.
