Galaxy S26 Ultra Adds 3 Privacy Tools, Led by New Privacy Display

3 articles · Updated · T3 · Jun 8

Summary

  • Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra centers its latest privacy push on Privacy Display, a manually activated feature that narrows screen visibility from side angles to shield passwords, documents and other sensitive content in public.
  • The display tool can be toggled from Settings or the quick panel, with options to switch on automatically for specific apps or whenever the phone detects password or PIN entry.
  • Samsung Knox remains built in rather than optional, isolating sensitive data in a secure on-device vault and limiting app access to only the information a user explicitly unlocks.
  • Call Screening adds a second line of defense by letting an AI assistant answer unknown callers, generate live transcripts and help users block spam or potential scams before picking up.
  • The package positions the S26 Ultra as a flagship built around privacy controls at the device, app and communications levels rather than relying on a single security feature.
