Abstract

A mobile communications device with a private zone and a non-private zone and methods of displaying communications in the same. In one embodiment, the mobile communications device includes a display having a private zone in which viewing is relatively more restricted and a non-private zone in which viewing is relatively less restricted. The mobile communications device further includes a transceiver to transmit and receive communications and an electronic processor electrically coupled to the transceiver and to the display. The electronic processor is configured to receive a message and determine whether the message is private. The electronic processor displays the message in the private zone when the message is private.
