Keeping your personal data safe from hackers and scammers requires constant vigilance. You need to be cautious of the software you download, the permissions you dole out to the software you install, and any suspicious-looking links in messages, among many other things. Some less tech savvy folks might not be aware of the typical red flags to look out for, which is why the built-in warnings of software like Google Chrome are so important. In an effort to look out for its users, Samsung is introducing a new security mode in One UI 6.1.1 that expands upon the companys existing Auto Blocker feature for its Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

Auto Blocker is a feature that Samsung introduced in One UI 6.0, the first version of the companys Android 14-based operating system. The feature, which can be found under Settings > Security and privacy, “helps keep you safe from security threats, suspicious activity, and privacy risks.”
