When it comes to software features on smartphones, most of them fall into the cool but useless category. However, Samsung’s Private mode is not only cool, but it’s also useful. At least for those people that have files or pictures that are sensitive in nature and need to be hidden from prying eyes. If that’s you, then you need to check out Private Mode. There are a number of apps in the Play Store that do the same thing, but this feature is native and ready to go on your Galaxy S 5.
With Private Mode, you will be able to hide pictures, documents, music, video, etc so that they only appear when you allow them to. Tapping on “Private Mode” from your Quick Settings (swipe down from notification area with two fingers) will toggle whether these files appear or not, but you still have to enter your password, PIN, or fingerprint in order to reveal them. The best part of it is that anyone snooping on your phone won’t even know they exist because the file names don’t even appear when Private Mode is turned off.
Private Mode is pretty easy to use once you understand how it works, but it can be a little confusing at times. That’s why I put together this video showing you how it’s done. Hit the break to learn about Private Mode, and be sure to check out our other Galaxy S 5 guides.
