What the screen privacy filter is for

Privacy Display: Screen Filter is a small utility for hiding what is on your phone from people around you. The developer names buses, trains, offices and cafes as the places it is meant for, where a screen can be read over a shoulder.

It suits anyone who regularly checks messages, banking or work documents in a shared space and wants the screen to be unreadable to others nearby. The listing presents it as a simple tool with few settings to learn.

Switching the filter from any app

A small floating button sits on top of your screen. Tapping it opens the privacy controls, so you can turn the filter on or off without leaving the app you are using. The listing presents this as the quickest way to change the filter mid-task.

Because the button floats, it stays available in browsers, messaging apps and other screens. You do not need to go back to the app's own main screen to change the setting.

Tilt mode and Always On mode

Tilt mode turns the filter on when you tilt the phone in any direction. The developer describes this as the fastest way to hide the screen, since the gesture takes a moment and needs no button press.

Always On mode keeps the filter active continuously until you switch it off yourself. The listing describes it for ongoing use in public spaces, where you do not want to manage the filter at all.

How the controls fit into a day in public

The floating button handles quick changes, tilt mode handles short moments when you glance at something private, and Always On mode suits longer stretches such as a commute. Together they cover the three ways the developer lists for turning the filter on.

The listing does not describe any account, subscription or in-app purchase tied to these controls, so the features are presented as the whole of the app.
