Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra has received a significant upgrade with the introduction of the Privacy Display feature in the One UI 9 beta. This feature allows users to hide picture-in-picture (PiP) videos, ensuring that sensitive information remains private even when viewed from an angle. The latest update takes this a step further by enabling PiP video support for the Privacy Display, making it even more useful for those who value their privacy.
One of the key advantages of this update is the ability to watch PiP videos while maintaining the privacy of the rest of the screen. When you enable Privacy Display and start watching a video in PiP mode, only the PiP window is obscured, while the content on the rest of the screen remains visible at an off-angle. This means you can enjoy your favorite shows or videos without worrying about prying eyes.
The Privacy Display feature is particularly useful for apps like YouTube, where users can minimize the video into PiP mode and return to the home screen without revealing the content to others. This level of customization ensures that users can enjoy their favorite apps while maintaining their privacy.
Furthermore, the update ensures that the Privacy Display feature continues to work even when you move the PiP window around on the screen. Features like Edge Panel are also detected, preventing the PiP Privacy Display from covering them. This level of flexibility and customization makes the Galaxy S26 Ultra an even more attractive option for those who value their privacy.
However, it's important to note that users need to enable Privacy Display for individual apps to enable PiP videos. Enabling Privacy Display for the entire screen won't work with PiP videos. This level of control ensures that users can customize their privacy settings according to their needs.
In conclusion, the One UI 9 beta update for the Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a very useful upgrade to the Privacy Display feature. It enables PiP video support, ensuring that users can enjoy their favorite shows and videos while maintaining their privacy. With this level of customization and control, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an excellent choice for those who value their privacy and want a smartphone that respects their needs.
