Privacy Mode mobile app v5.23.0 (39630)
Is there any additional information about the new Privacy Mode? I am using the mobile app version 5.23.0 (39630). The latest post on the Product Announcements page for Release Notes has v5.22.0 as the most current version.
Apple iOS release notes for version 5.23.0 states: “A new 'privacy mode' that allows you to show Quicken to friends, family, or our support staff without showing your actual financial data”
Thank you!

@TaxAvoidance301, thanks for the inquiry!
I looked into the feature from our end and found some info:
- Enhance user privacy by introducing a Privacy Mode that enables users to mask and unmask sensitive data within the app. This feature will provide users with greater control over their personal information and improve overall data security.
- Users can enable Privacy Mode via a toggle switch or mask/unmask icon. When activated, sensitive data will be masked.
- In Privacy Mode, sensitive data (net worth, account summary, transaction amounts) get hidden.
- Users can unmask data by toggling off Privacy Mode. Unmasked data will return to its original, readable format.
- Users have the option to select specific data fields to mask/unmask while keeping others visible. The app will remember individual user preferences for masking certain types of data even after refreshing the page.
- Masked data should be consistently displayed across all relevant app components.
I'm not sure which of these aspects are enabled yet, if any. It doesn't appear that this feature is live yet, but I am also not on the 5.23.0 version for Android yet (we are awaiting approval from the Play Store). Is there something specific you want to know? Otherwise, I put in a content request so we can get some information about Privacy Mode into our Help Center.

Thanks @Coach Natalie
All those features sounds great, but where is the toggle to enable/disable Privacy Mode located within the app?
Could you link to the Help Center topic on Privacy Mode when it is active, I don't see any results related to it at the moment.
Thank you!

Excellent feature idea! I often recommend Simplifi to friends and family but am not comfortable showing the app because it would disclose my personal financial details. A "demo" view of the app like this Privacy Mode will be a great way to remove that barrier to sharing.
Looking forward to learning more once the Help Center documentation is available.

Following up with what I learned! Privacy Mode is being built and the code is there as of 5.23.0, but we're still working out a few bugs so it hasn't been enabled yet. We are expecting it sometime in the next couple of months. We will add content to our Help Center once this feature goes live!

I'd love a similar feature for desktop, so that I can use Simplifi at work and have values obscured unless I move my mouse over or something
