Samsung introduces 'AltZLife' private mode on Galaxy A71, A51: How it works

 


Samsung on Monday introduced a new privacy feature for its Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51 smartphones. Named AltZLife, the privacy-centric feature is now rolling out as a part of software update for both the smartphones. The feature creates a secondary private space on the phone, accessible through authentication process that is different from the one required to unlock the phone – according to Samsung. 

How the Samsung AltZLife feature works:

The AltZLife mode gets activated on double pressing the power button. It is a secondary space with access to all phone features, including photo gallery and apps. However, one needs to transfer the content from normal mode to private mode and install the apps (including second instance of apps) separately on the private mode. There are two ways to transfer and manage content in private mode -- Quick Switch and Content Suggestions.

Quick Switch

Quick Switch allows users to between two instances of the same app instantly: One instance in normal mode and the other in private mode. For example, user can move between the normal Gallery and a private Gallery; or from a normal WhatsApp to a private WhatsApp by double clicking the power button. The private versions of these apps are secured by Samsung Knox in the Secure Folder of Galaxy smartphones.
