TL;DR
- Samsung has introduced a “secure chat” mode internally to curb leaks of sensitive discussions.
- The move follows incidents where executive meeting materials were posted on platforms like Blind.
- If effective, future Samsung devices could see fewer early leaks before launch.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series isn’t official yet, but it feels like we already know everything about it thanks to various leaks. We enjoy these teasing tidbits as much as you do, but the manufacturers are less keen on them for obvious reasons. And if Samsung gets its way, the next round of early details about devices like the Galaxy S27 series could be harder to come by.
According to The Korea Herald, Samsung Electronics and other major affiliates have introduced a new “secure chat” mode on their internal messaging platform. The feature is meant to stop internal discussions from leaking outside the company. The irony isn’t lost on us that we appear to be learning about this in-house notice through a leak.
