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.
