Mark your photos, videos, music, etc that you want to set private via options
Turn off Private Mode
Turn back on when you want to see them.

That's in the settings. It's one of the main options. Near the power saving modes IIRC.

After taking a screenshot, phone goes to photo editor

I cant find where to change this setting. Whenever I try to get a screenshot of anything, after it gets a screenshot, the phone goes to the photo editor app.
It didnt do this before. I tried resetting all application settings but its still the same. Help anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Go into camramode.
1. Settings
2. General settings (the one all the way to the right)
3. Turn Review off (Here you can turn GPS tag on/off as well as other features)
Hope it helps!
Thanks, tried that but its still the same. I dont think it has got something to do with the camera app as this happens after I take a screenshot. I don't want to edit each and every screenshot I take...

You are an angel!!! I had to disable my photo editor app temporarily because I was too annoyed by it! Someone who tinkered with my phone must have checked that without my knowing. Thanks again!

I did however install some of the free camera mode features, maybe it got installed with one of them. If you select mode and go to the bottom there is an option to download. I picked a few of the and they installed, then that's when I noticed the location feature. Try that.
Tried that. All 4 modes. Still no go. What mode did you see the option in?
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Camera settings is actually bigger than what is shown use your finger to scroll it up and you'll see more options

Ah. That worked. The options don't fill the screen, so never thought to scroll. Duh.

How to activate hidden Private Mode on Lollipop?

While playing with QuickShortcutMaker I found 'Private Mode' in settings. This allows us to hide content you want to keep private. I could go up to setting a pattern lock but in the last screen it just could not get activated. Can this be done?
Thanks,

First it won't work on Note3 as likely you won't have an app requires to activate it.
second even you have app it required moded bcoz private mod gets block o rooted device.
Third I tried with both above condition yet I couldn't activate, I think it related to secure storage issue and needs to understand better how exact it works. seems difficult to port .
@dr.ketan Sir, are Samsung fools. Why are they giving things in our lollipop which are not working
UPSM was also there and Now private mode also
They may not work by default on Stock ROMs, but why are they present ?
I have explained you last time too. Neither there was UPSM nor Private mod existing on Note3
Both mods needs it's own application and none of them having on N3.
You can see it as hidden with some launcher or app which give access to activity. Samsung can't make each and every application for every device separately otherwise we never get update. What you can see is just activity in setting just like a page without any functionality. Samsung have hide it bcoz our device doesn't have it.
Developers working on it and port missing app and codes on framework and brings complete mods. Again make it clear that having these activities you can't do anything. Samsung just keeping there to make it easy for them and we should thank to them for keeping it there, If they remove total code then it become very very difficult for developer too.
ThankYou once again Sir! Finally I understood this time

hey one thing about the app... whether you turn it OFF or ON, a message comes out and says "Power Saving Mode Enabled" - it kind of confused me at first when I turned it off, but then I realized it was just the message was incorrect.

Message app is silenced

Can anyone help me out, My messenger app is silenced been thru almost everything on the phone to try and turn it on..Anyone have an idea on what to do? Pic enclosed and thanks in advance!

Hi, have you checked the settings to make sure it's not silent? Check my screen shot. You'd have to tap where it says silent.

Is there a "Do Not Disturb" setting in Sounds and Notifications? I don't have mine yet, so I can't check for myself. but that has tripped my up a few times on my HTC 10.
If Do Not Disturb is not on, look for a setting called "Smart settings".... it is under General > Smart Functions [Label] > Smart Settings.... if you set the home screen settings to enable the Smart Bulletin Screen you can also get to it from there
Appreciate the replies folks..I just downloaded Textra, but the stock messaging App is still silenced
Same problem

I figured it would be a matter of time before someone else chimed in with the same problem..I still haven't found a solution other than a new app for messaging..

Maybe I'll do the same cause I'd rather not use textra
This is a feature of android 7.0. When you receive the message, swipe down from the top to show your notifications, press and hold the messaging notification and then you should get an option to select that states Don't silence. It's probably set to Show Notifications silently.
Thank you sir!!

Okay no what about other apps? I use Hangouts fpr my texting and it doesn't​ have this option. Any ideas?
The same question for me. I have peeking with whatsapp also, even if whatsapp has this option and by default has always been disabled. I don't like peek notifications I would like to understand how to remove them by phone options, not by app.

I managed to find that option. It's available in Facebook, or Facebook Messenger or in Facebook Messenger "Lite" too, but it's not available in Whatsapp that is my main interest
Can you check whatsapp?

This was driving me nuts too, for Google Hangouts. Tried "Do No Disturb". Didn't work. Very frustrating when using the phone full screen in landscape mode.
