Auto Blocker
Samsung has recently unveiled a new security tool called “Auto Blocker” for Samsung Galaxy users. This innovative feature not only enhances device protection but also offers users the flexibility they desire.
As part of the broader security and privacy enhancements within One UI 6, Auto Blocker provides users with additional security options while exploring the various customizations available in the Galaxy ecosystem.
One of the key features of Auto Blocker is its ability to prevent app installations from unauthorized sources, commonly known as sideloading. While sideloading can provide users with increased device customization, Auto Blocker ensures that security measures are in place to protect against potential threats, specifically social engineering attacks like voice phishing.
This cutting-edge security tool also includes app security checks to detect potential malware and can even prevent unauthorized software installations via USB cable. Additionally, it enhances Message Guard, offering protection against Zero Click attacks, even for third-party apps.
Auto Blocker is a testament to Samsung’s commitment to maintaining industry-leading security standards. By empowering users to take control of their devices while prioritizing their security, Samsung continues to set the bar high.
Samsung Galaxy users can access Auto Blocker on compatible devices equipped with One UI 6, guaranteeing a safer and more secure mobile experience.
Commenting on this exciting announcement, Dr. Seungwon Shin, EVP & Head of Security Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, stated:
“At Samsung, we are dedicated to keeping our users safe from security attacks. With the introduction of Auto Blocker, users can enjoy the benefits of our open ecosystem while having peace of mind knowing that their mobile experience is fully secured. We believe in empowering our users to make decisions that best suit their needs, and Auto Blocker is a prime example of that philosophy.”
