The question
How do I stop the person next to me reading my phone?
On the train, in a waiting room, on the couch at a family dinner. I want to read my messages without someone reading along. Is there a way?
SoloTilt Your screen tilts shut for everyone else.
Straight on, each word stays sharp. From the seat next to you, the display turns dark. Pick your iPhone or Android and SoloTilt gets it ready in a minute.
Set up SoloTilt on my phoneViewing angle
What you see, holding it straight. What the person beside you sees.
Turn the brightness right down
The catch: you squint too, and in a dim room the screen is still easy to read from the side.
Stick a privacy film on the glass
The catch: it stays on all the time, at home too, and it has to match your exact screen.
Best answer
Use a privacy viewing profile made for your model
That is what SoloTilt builds. You confirm your iPhone or Android, let it read your display, and the profile comes with three parts:
- A side-angle dimming curve, so the screen fades to dark as the angle moves toward the next seat.
- A direct-view clarity map, so text stays crisp when you hold the phone straight.
- Auto-on in public places, so you never have to remember it on the bus.
The trade-off: the setup reads your display first. That step is what makes the profile fit your screen instead of a generic one.
Is this the Solo Tilt flip illusion?
No. That demo unfolds a picture as you tilt the phone. SoloTilt works the other way round: your own screen stays clear head-on and goes dark at an angle. It is not affiliated with that demo.
