One UI 8.5 Secret Feature: New Privacy Display Revealed in Beta Code

Samsung — A new leaked feature inside One UI 8.5 firmware spotted in the Galaxy S26 Tips app confirms an upcoming “Privacy Display” addition, which limits screen visibility from side angles to protect user data in public places. 4

The feature is designed so that bystanders cannot easily see what’s on your screen when the phone is tilted, enhancing privacy without needing third-party screen protectors. 5

This type of feature could first appear on the Galaxy S26 Ultra when the stable One UI 8.5 lands alongside Samsung’s 2026 flagship launch. 6
