Expanded use of Privacy Display

Asumsang1512 — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 15:39:49 GMT

Apply Privacy Display to live notifications in Now Bar and in Notification center. Also using the phones smartness in the notification center to identify specific, important notifications and apply Privacy Display to it.

For example: Swiping down the notification panel to view text messages or bank details, the phone cleverly applies Privacy Display to those specific notifications while leaving the rest alone.

Another example: If you don't want someone seeing your music taste(like me who hides it behind the DnD Now bar feature on lock screen)but you need the live notifications to switch between songs, AI applies the Privacy Display to the specific areas such as Now Bar.

S26 Ultra Privacy Display not applying for notification pop-ups

RedJack — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:11:43 GMT

I turned on the Privacy settings to only turn on messeges, bank info, and notification pop ups. It works for the apps, but it isn't working for the notification pop ups. Whether the phone is locked or unlocked. Am I doing something wrong, or are others having this issue?

I tried it and it seems only work when you received the notifications. Not on the list of notifications.

Just like this on the notification pop up.

Correct. That is how it's works. Submit feedback in Samsung members app if you want this updated.

You're doing the right thing

Although it works within apps and notifications, I noticed that it does not work after you have pulled down your notification draw and want to do quick responses for that selected app. It also does not block out the selected app in the recent app area. Hopefully, Samsung can do an update to fix this.

Submit feedback in the samsung members app.
I've seen others mentioning the same here, so if you submit feedback, it's more likely samsung will actually do it in a future update.

Lol I just made a comment on but just for live notifications, even with pictures of where Privacy display should be.

Did you submit feedback? I saw your post, and I like your ideas.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Privacy Display

Asumsang1512 — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 15:53:19 GMT

I did submit it as feedback. Hopefully they actually accept it and don't reply with "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
We are unable to gather enough information from the previous error report.
Please replicate the issue and submit new error report right away.
Ensure that "Send System Log Data" is selected.
Also, ease provide additional information regarding the issue.
Make sure you update the device to the latest market software
version and if the issue reoccurs, please submit a new error report
and attach screenshots and/or videos.
We appreciate your business." Like they always do when I give suggestions

I mean it's a suggestion not an error

I submitted the same feedback. Seems like a pretty obvious oversight since more users than me are noticing after just a few days of use.

I would also like to be able to set "maximum privacy protection" on notifications while being able to use standard protection for apps. The max is too aggressive for viewing full screen apps but fine for notification bubbles.

Option to enable privacy display when in notifications pannel

Nibbles03 — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:22:27 GMT

I would love an option for the privacy display to be enabled when the notifications panel is swiped down. It is great that it can hide incoming messages, but if I want to look at them briefly in my notifications panel, I'd also like the privacy display to hide those too.

Agree

Re: S26 Ultra Privacy Display

Techy-Mel — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:04:05 GMT

I have just come on here to say the same thing! It only hides the notification when it comes through and not the lock screen notifications.

Yes, this is a must required feature to enable proper use of privacy screen.
