Can you give more information about

It's not super clear just from these screenshots how this will work just yet. 🧐🤔📱 It looks like it triggers a privacy screen in crowded spaces when you look at "sensitive apps," which might entail anything that includes financial or personal information. 🏢💳🔑 The UI gives elevators and public transportation as locations where you might want to turn this on. 🚊⬆️🚦 I assume this just makes the screen unviewable to people nearby, but we'll have to wait and see how it actually looks in practice before making any judgment of it. 🧐🤔👍

Been seeing some content about the coming 8.5. Looks like it will be quite good. I am not sure if my own device will receive it, but I hope it does. Exciting times ahead.
