Okay, so I wanted to talk about putting a privacy screen on my iPhone. I’m always out and about, you know, on the bus, at the coffee shop, places like that. And I started noticing people kind of looking over my shoulder at my phone. It’s a bit creepy, right? So, I figured it was time to get a privacy screen.
First off, I went online to do some reading. I found out that there isn’t a built-in setting on the iPhone to make the screen private. I mean, you can dim the brightness, but that doesn’t really stop someone from seeing what’s on your screen if they’re close enough. So, a physical privacy screen protector seemed like the way to go.
I looked at a few different ones and ended up buying one from a brand, I think it was called Ocushield, it seemed pretty good from the reviews. Anyway, it came in the mail a couple of days later.
Installing it was a bit of a hassle, to be honest. I had to make sure my iPhone screen was super clean. I used that little cloth that came with it and wiped it down like crazy. Then, lining up the privacy screen just right took me a couple of tries. I got a few bubbles at first, but I managed to smooth them out with a credit card. Finally, after all that, it was on, and it looked pretty good.
The first time I used it in public, it felt weird. I mean, I could see my screen just fine, but when I tilted it a bit, it went dark. That’s when I knew it was working. It’s kind of cool, actually. Now, when I’m on the bus or in a cafe, I don’t have to worry about people peeking at my phone.
- Realized people were looking at my phone too much.
- Decided I needed a privacy screen.
- Bought one online after some research.
- Cleaned my iPhone screen thoroughly.
- Applied the privacy screen after a few tries.
- Tested it out in public, and it worked great.
Here’s how it went down:
It’s not just about privacy, though. I read somewhere that these screens can help reduce eye strain. I spend a lot of time on my phone, so that’s a nice bonus. Although, I did notice that I had to turn up the brightness a bit because the screen is a little darker with the protector on. Otherwise, it might have caused some eye strain instead, which kind of defeats the purpose, you know?
So yeah, that’s my experience with getting a privacy screen for my iPhone. It’s been pretty good so far. If you’re thinking about it, I’d say go for it. It’s a small change, but it makes a big difference, especially if you’re out in public a lot. Plus, it’s nice to know that your stuff is a bit more private. It is a good try.
