This is how the next new feature in Android 15 will work

The new Android Private Space feature is similar to Samsung’s Secure Folder or Google Photos. Your goal is Hide all private apps and notifications on your mobileand it looks like it’s poised to be one of the best new features in Android 15.

Here Google copied Samsung, which we can say offers the best experience to have a completely private space on your mobile with Secure Folder; notably because it is linked to Samsung Knox, the Korean company’s professional platform which offers different security and confidentiality solutions.

Last May, the American technology giant prepared Google I/O where it should present the most important new features of Android 15. Private Space would be part of it and will allow move private applications to a profile separate from mobile as a great additional security.

More details are now known about this new experience thanks to the investigations conducted by Mishaal Rahman, a renowned Android expert, in Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.1. It appears that the setup process was designed to provide more information about how this space works.

In fact, now private space It is part of the same mobile system and you don’t have to download anything from the Play Store. Another of its novelties will be the notice of creation of a new Google account to link it to the private area, because if this is not done there is a risk that certain data, such as photos, files, emails, contacts and other types of data can be filtered.

Unlike Samsung Secure Folder, in private space You cannot move your content to another mobile device. In other words, it will have to be configured again. Samsung’s solution is based on the use of OneDrive to create a backup copy and thus transfer it to another Galaxy mobile equipped with a secure folder.

To access this private space in Android 15, you can configure a PIN, password or pattern, or use biometric authentication. You can access your settings from Settings, then Security & Privacy and finally Access private space.

What you can configure in private space

Google has worked so that it is not a simple space in which only sensitive information can be transmitted in the form of images, videos or other series of files, but rather Some interesting options included How are you:

• Automatic locking of private space after having exceeded a previously configured time.
• You can hide the space so that it does not appear in the application launcher.
• You can deactivate the display of notifications linked to applications that are in the private space so that they do not appear on the lock screen when it is unlocked.

These options are available to add an extra layer of protectionaccording to Android Font from Android Authority, and therefore all the content you have that is generated from this space always appears private. A great way to protect certain information from the eyes of the little ones in the house when they use the father’s cell phone or a family member or friend uses it.
