They can access the AltZLife through a software update rolling out from 10 August. “An industry first innovation, this intelligent feature has been designed keeping in mind the inherent need of consumers, especially Gen Z, for enhanced privacy when it comes to storage and access of content on their smartphones,” said Manu Sharma, Senior Director, Mobile Business, Samsung India. He added that this will aid in more confident exchange of phones and help in the elimination of “anxiety that consumers usually face while also sharing their smartphones with someone.” [caption id=“attachment_8695041” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] AltZLife.

The entire software has been built at Samsung R&D Institutes in Bangalore and Noida. This function will work for individual apps. For example, before browsing through the gallery, you can double-click on the power button and then enter the gallery’s private mode. Also, before entering the secret vault, an authentication code is required. This will be different than the regular unlocking code of your phone. While switching back to the normal mode, no such authentication will be required. This will keep the experience safe and hassle-free.
