My text messages aren't showing on my lock screen or any screen unless I unlock it. Very inconvenient and frustrating. This is supposed to be the top SG26 phone? Samsung needs to get it together. Not a good look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there Joanne wall, we appreciate you sharing your experience of your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us. We understand how disappointing it can be when your new device is not meeting your expectations. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has the first of its kind Privacy Display. The Privacy display feature is a mode designed to block the viewing angle. Outside the main viewing angle, depending on the angle, it may appear as if there are stains in different patterns and areas. And you may notice color changes, or a bluish tint. This is not a product defect, so you can use it with confidence. If you are not using this feature, and are seeing this on your display, our team of experts can assist you directly through chat to resolve this experience. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth
