No one likes having someone look at the screen of their iPhone while using it, at least all if it's a stranger. Every day it happens that sometimes someone close to us ends up staring at our device's screenSometimes it does not make sense, because of inertia or because they just stare, but in others it is done with full awareness and thinking. This is implied by a recent patent from Apple about the fact that even now, it would be a huge improvement over the privacy of our iPhone every day.
Screen only visible to device owner
The concept is quite simple in terms of functionality but with great technology such as face ID on the back. Used, which would be that while the iPhone gets a registered face by screen, it will work normally, but if it detects a second unsigned face by looking at it, the encryption will work, depending on the patent will make the rest of the screen unreadable except where the user is currently looking.

The face ID camera will be responsible, in addition to detecting and analyzing the face, to completely analyze the environment, to find out what other unauthorized faces are, and what is more important, where they are heading, because the idea is based on the iPhone knowing where and when they look.
If it was still to be achieved it would be much better in the privacy of our iPhone every day.
Looking at the face ID function, It looks like Apple really has the technology needed to make something like this happen.. Just being a patent, it still has to be seen that this technology will eventually see the light, even though seeing the environment and knowing Apple's privacy tendencies for its users would make sense.
