PRESS RELEASE — One UI 6 is
here. It boosts Galaxy’s customizability and the freedom to choose how your
device works. With smartphones now looking after more aspects of our lives than
ever, being and feeling in control is an
essential part of the modern mobile experience. A device should work for you – not the other way around.

As an
open ecosystem that empowers users to define their
experience according to their priorities, Galaxy has always stood for choices. From a security and privacy perspective, I believe Galaxy has a duty to give users more say over how they are protected.
Having options encourages you to think about what’s really right for you. That’s the philosophy behind
Auto Blocker, introduced as part of One UI 6.
Auto
Blocker is a package of additional security measures and the latest to join
Galaxy’s stable of security and privacy innovations. Just as there is not one
single type of cyber threat, there should never be just one approach to
security. That’s why Auto Blocker’s safeguards are wide-ranging; it gives users
more ways to stay safe, on their terms and with minimal effort.
Let me put
it another way: Galaxy lets users set their own boundaries without building a
wall around them.
Boundaries,
Not WallsOne of Auto
Blocker’s features is the ability to enable or disable sideloading. This is the
act of installing an app that’s not available on official platforms, such as
Google Play or Galaxy Store. Sideloading is hugely popular as there are many
benefits for users, including enhanced customization and control over their
device’s functionality.
There are
entire online communities full of advice and testimonials, dedicated to safe
and responsible sideloading, and to new ways of using Galaxy devices that open
up exciting possibilities. For those who fully intend to sideload, they won’t
notice any change with One UI 6 because Auto Blocker is off by default. Then,
what’s the benefit of opting in?
We
constantly look out for new threats, and it is increasingly common to see
social engineering attacks like voice phishing. This is when an attacker
doesn’t target a device, but targets users and aims for human error. For
example, if someone called your mother pretending to be from the bank, and they
scam her into installing malware. With Auto Blocker activated, such an attempt
would be detected and stopped.
So, for
those not in the habit of extensive device customizations, turning on Auto
Blocker represents additional and effortless peace of mind. And those who love
to customize are entirely unaffected. Not only is Galaxy an ecosystem that
empowers informed choices, but it is also one that adapts to changes in the
digital landscape. Galaxy means the freedom to set your own boundaries – and
move them when you wish.
A
Complete Package
The option
to toggle sideloading is just one part of Auto Blocker, which is packed with
other safeguards and effortlessly protects users in other likely scenarios.
Imagine
you’re charging your smartphone at an airport or any other public space. Maybe
you’re distracted and someone takes the opportunity to grab it, attempting to
break into it via the USB port while the device is physically accessible to
them. Fortunately, Auto Blocker prevents commands and installations via USB
cable, which makes it tough for anyone to physically override your device’s
security.
Auto Blocker assures users that they can
safely use their favorite apps or try new ones. It turns on app security
checks, which look out for potential malware. It also opens up the Message Guard feature,
which prevents Zero Click exploits to popular third-party messaging apps,
including Messenger, Telegram, KakaoTalk and WhatsApp.
One Part
of a Secure Ecosystem
Auto
Blocker is just one of the many security innovations we’ve been working on. To
further improve protection, we’ve updated the
Security and Privacy Dashboard on Galaxy devices – so it’s easier
for users to see and control what happens to their data.
We’re also
bringing our strongest hardware-based security innovations to more devices with
the expansion of
Knox Vault to additional smartphone models and
other non-mobile product categories. Looking ahead, we’ve updated
Knox Matrix – our vision of a future where
connected devices can protect one another. Furthermore, we’ve introduced an
easier and more convenient way to log in to devices.
By offering
more ways to be secure, in more places and on more devices, we’re providing
users with greater convenience and greater choice in how to live their lives.
Ultimately, isn’t that what everybody wants?
