Samsung Fixes Galaxy S26 Ultra's Privacy Display Flaw
One UI 9 Beta 4 enhances PiP window privacy experience.
1Privacy Display Issue
Samsung's Privacy Display feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra affected the entire screen when using PiP, making it difficult for users to see the rest of the display. This was particularly annoying while watching videos.
2One UI 9 Beta 4 Update
Samsung has resolved this issue with the One UI 9 Beta 4 update. Now, the Privacy Display effect is limited to the PiP window, allowing users to watch content privately while keeping the rest of the screen at normal brightness.
3Private Viewing in PiP
The new update ensures that content in the PiP window remains private while the rest of the screen stays visible. This is especially useful for apps like YouTube, preventing others from seeing what you're watching.
4Screen Brightness and Color Shift
In previous versions, activating Privacy Display reduced screen brightness and caused color shifts. This affected the entire screen when using PiP, creating a significant disadvantage for users.
5Flex Magic Pixel Technology
The Galaxy S26 Ultra's Flex Magic Pixel technology prevents the screen from being read from side angles. Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors, it can be enabled only for specific apps or notifications.
6User Experience Enhancement
This update makes the Privacy Display feature more practical and effective for users. Samsung's move is particularly notable as it reflects improvements shaped by feedback from beta users.
