TL; DR
- Leaks have revealed that Samsung is working on a Privacy Display feature, but it is unclear whether this feature will be exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
- A new leak shows that a Privacy Display card will appear in the Tips app for the Galaxy S26 Plus.
- The card appears to feature the same animations and descriptive text as those found on the counterfeit S26 Ultra.
When you’re out in public, the last thing you want is nosy strangers watching what you’re doing on your phone. Last year we discovered code in a leaked build of One UI 8.5 that suggested Samsung was working on a fix for this problem called Privacy Display. Since then, there have been numerous leaks suggesting this will be a Galaxy S26 Ultra feature. But what about the other models in the series? A new leak may have revealed the answer to that question.

Last Friday we reported on a leak that exposed a Privacy View page in Samsung’s updated Tips app. This page not only contains some details about the feature, but also animations showing how it works. It was discovered by the people there SammyGuruwho used a device spoofed as a Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The power socket is back, but this time with a new spoofer module that lets any device pretend it’s a Galaxy S26 Plus. According to this new reportthey were able to trick the Tips app again and find the same Private Display card as before. The page appears to play the same animations and contain the same descriptive text that appeared when spoofing the S26 Ultra.
So it looks like what could end up being one of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s most popular features might not be exclusive to that model. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this doesn’t guarantee the feature will appear on the Plus. The release notes that this is early internal software and could change at any time.
