FAQs

Can you see through privacy screen protector? ›

Privacy screen protectors are applied to the surface of your mobile phone's screen, making it difficult for others to see its contents. This means you can use your phone in public spaces without worrying about strangers catching a side glimpse of your private conversations or confidential information.

Disadvantages of using a privacy screen

While very useful, privacy screen protectors also have some disadvantages: Lower screen brightness. Privacy screens may reduce the brightness of the screen, forcing you to increase the brightness level, which drains the device's battery faster. Limited viewing angle.

Like a regular screen protector, these can be of the PET film or tempered glass variety. But, it has an additional anti-spy layer that limits the viewing angle of your display.

They are very good at completely obscuring the screen unless the person viewing has a direct 90 degree angle. Basically only the person sitting directly in front of the screen can see the content. The viewing angle is very small, and the screen goes black at even just a few degrees off center.

BLUE LIGHT REDUCTION

That's why scientists recommend, that exposure to blue light at night is decreased. And this is where privacy screen protectors come in handy. They can reduce the amount of blue light emitted by your device, which decreases the effects of the blue light.

The device may not recognize fingerprints when the screen protector/protective film is not attached clearly and tightly on the device's screen. Air gaps or foreign substances between the protective film and screen may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. We recommend you attach it again.

Privacy screen protectors don't hurt your eyes; however, if you do not turn up your display brightness when using one, you could cause yourself some eye strain due to the screen being slightly tinted.

These privacy screens do not protect your smart device screen from cracking or breaking, although they certainly protect your privacy and are a great asset, especially if you are someone who is often surrounded by people, like on public transit in a work situation.

Spigen is a top brand recommended by our experts. Arthur Zilberman, president of laptop repair company Laptop MD, notes the Spigen EZ Fit tempered glass screen protector is case-friendly, affordable and durable.

With a privacy screen attached, the viewing angle is limited, making it difficult for people to see your screen content unless they are sitting directly in front of it. This helps protect your privacy and sensitive information from prying eyes.

Do privacy screen protectors affect Face ID? ›

In my experience "privacy covers" that limit the viewing angle of a screen to "straight on" accomplish this my altering the light-frequencies that reach or move from the screen. FaceID depends on the incoming light-images which have been altered by that privacy protector.

It's the same concept as using a polarizing filter on a camera lens. Why are screen protectors so expensive despite they are just plastics? They are often not “just” plastics (glass is used too!) and require genuine effort to design, test and manufacture.

Some privacy screen protectors may cause the display to appear slightly darker or less vibrant, as they are designed to block the view of the screen from certain angles. This can be especially noticeable when using the device in brightly lit environments.

The privacy shield darkens your computer's screen from the side while providing a clear viewing angle of 60 degrees (+/- 30 degrees from center) to the user.
