Samsung has introduced an upgraded Privacy Display feature with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, aimed at obscuring screen content from side views. The recent release of the fourth One UI 9 beta enhances this feature, now incorporating picture-in-picture (PiP) video support.
With the One UI 9 beta update for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, users can enable Privacy Display for PiP mode, which ensures that only the PiP video window is obscured while the rest of the screen remains visible from an angle. A video shared by tipster Ice Universe demonstrates how the Privacy Display functions for PiP videos.
According to a discussion on the Samsung Community forums, the Privacy Display will continue to function effectively even if the PiP window is moved around the screen. Additionally, features such as the Edge Panel will be recognized, preventing the Privacy Display from obscuring them.
For those operating a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on the One UI 9 beta, it is essential to activate Privacy Display for each individual app that utilizes PiP videos. It is also crucial to only enable Privacy Display for the PiP window; otherwise, it may not operate correctly with PiP videos.
