Samsung is set to introduce a new privacy layer that protects users from shoulder surfing in public spaces. The feature will hide sensitive details like PINs, passwords, and notifications from others, giving Galaxy owners more control over what’s visible on their screens.
The privacy layer works at the pixel level, dimming or masking information when needed. Users can customize how it behaves per app, whether by hiding notification previews or limiting visibility only during password entry. The feature can also be fine-tuned or switched off completely.
Samsung says the privacy layer is the result of over five years of research and testing. It builds on the company’s Knox security platform, which already safeguards devices through hardware and software protections.

The company describes it as “privacy you can see and security you can feel.” The Samsung privacy layer will roll out soon to Galaxy devices.
