Please add an option that automatically hides sensitive notification details when someone other than the phone owner is using or viewing the phone.
The user should be able to select specific apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Messages, banking apps, etc.
When the phone detects that the owner is looking at the screen, notifications can display normally. When another person is using the phone, the notification should still arrive but show only something generic such as “New notification,” without revealing the sender, profile picture, or message preview.
This could potentially use the same on-device face/presence detection concept already used by features such as “Keep screen on while viewing.”
The goal is to prevent private notifications from being accidentally exposed when someone else is using the unlocked phone.
This would be a very useful privacy feature for Galaxy devices.
