Privacy Shade prevents people around you from seeing your screen by blocking out everything except for a small view area that you control, while still letting you interact with the full screen.
• Turn on Privacy Shade to control the visibility of sensitive content
• View and send sensitive content while in the open without letting others around you see your private information
• Use Privacy Shade to only expose the exact area you’re reading or typing in
• Adjust the transparency of the shade to suit your environment

This app won't work without a new version of BlackBerry hub+ services which is no more compatible with my BlackBerry priv. so could you (Blackberry) please make this app work in BlackBerry Priv with the last available version of BlackBerry hub+ services which is "1.3.0.39403"? Thanks in advance
With a recent Android update the appno longer works. It dims the screen, but then you can't use the screen
I'm not quite sure how to use this app. It was already pre-loaded on my phone and thought it was a good idea activate. But I have no idea how to actually use it in other app ie messages, pictures, fb, hangout ect
Is there a way to flip the eye when the rectangle bar is up. Sometimes I get it stuck at the bottom when browsing and have to exit to reset it.
just amazing ! this was really invented or developed thinking as the name indicate ! Privacy... Now a personal tip... the Black color is good but if may i customize my prefered color will be more than nice ! thx team..god job !
I have installed this blackberry privacy shade app, but without my consent there's an app called reddactor also installed, and it doesn't let me use this app directly, instead it forces me to install one more app! What the hell is this!
would be cool if the 3dots werent on the top right corner, you know the corner where EVERY app has there option button . so have to close this app to access other apps options then open this app again
It does not worth a subscription considering this app was last updated more than 2 years ago... A one time fee would be so much more logical.
Not much to say apart from it is very useful and of the high quality associated with BlackBerry.
A very useful app, only problem is that it won't cover the entire screen. Huawei mate 20 pro.
Good app would have got a 5. Asking for $1 a month to use this feature? How about a one time fee. Kinda of a bit of a RIP-off. Stay away people.
Top Blackberry app. 😀 No other manufacturer does this better the BB does. 😀
needs blackberry hub to work. shame - seems like a good idea to have handy when using the phone for private conversations or ready confidential info in public. pls consider freeing this up from the shackles of blackberry hub.
Does hide my screen from on lookers when I'm on the train. Works well like a blackberry product should.
How is it that this very basic app needs Blackberry hub? Seriously! Just an inconvenience that makes me uninstall it
Great app... Just missing one thing, It does not hide notification behind shade otherwise great app
Rather interesting idea quite useful if you understand what it's meant for.
Exceptional, just need to encourage you to do more. We're enthused by such innovations.
outline/controls are mismatched from the nonshaded part, making it frustrating to use
Amazing tools . If you want install it in non BlackBerry devices you need to install BlackBerry Hub in your smartphone.
This app is not working properly. It is Great when it does work!!
Great! Just wish the actual shade was more customizable
Best privacy app! Blackberry didn't disappoint with this premium product!
needs improvement in stability and more features
Don't use it very often. It comes in handy though. Great tool!
One of the greatest feature in a personal phone
Awesome app. Should be a stock feature in all OS.
Reactor is on can't take screen shots.
Nicely packed with features. You can set different visibility windows, shade intensity, ... Also you can turn it on with gesture. I only miss greater range of shading available to make whole screen more visible (but less than without privacy shade).
