Overview

• Leaked UI shows a Privacy Protection option in the share menu’s More section that can detect and blur or redact sensitive parts of photos before sending.
• Users can pick a redaction style, choose what to hide or show, and tap a compare button to view edited versus original images.
• Reporting says the image-redaction tool, previously limited to China, is planned for a wider release with One UI 8.5, though plans could change.
• Separate leaks point to a native Privacy Display for the Galaxy S26 Ultra with adjustable intensity, automatic triggers for crowded places, and custom rules for scenarios like banking apps or PIN entry.
• Granular controls reportedly let users hide notifications, picture‑in‑picture windows, lock‑screen fields, and private images, with a Maximum Privacy mode and references to Flex Magic Pixel tech aimed at reducing side‑angle readability.
