Many users may mistake it for an Ad blocker because in a hurry, it can be read as an Ad blocker. However, it is entirely different from an Ad blocker; although it falls into the same category, that deals with privacy and security.
What is Auto Blocker?
Auto Blocker is a new privacy feature that protects Galaxy phones from malware and USB device attacks. The feature blocks unauthorized apps, regularly checks for malware, and prevents commands sent through unauthorized devices. While many tech enthusiasts know what to avoid and how to handle spam and attacks, there are users who may not be well-versed in smartphone security and could fall victim to these attacks. Attacks can occur through various means, such as spam links, harmful apps, and even USB attacks. Therefore, it is essential to always take precautionary measures.
How to Enable Auto Blocker on Galaxy Phones
If there are multiple Samsung Galaxy users in your household or connection, you should advise all of them to turn on this feature if they do not know much about these things. Below, you’ll find the steps on how to enable the new feature. The Auto Blocker is now activated and it will protect your phone from malwares and other attacks. Remember this will not allow sideloading, so make sure to disable it when you want to install an app that you know is safe and reliable. This is an useful feature for the open system like Android. As you already know Android doesn’t restrict users from installing apps and this way you can keep the freedom without worrying about security. I personally like to see more security features that doesn’t cost us freedom of what we actually do on our phone. Samsung Knox security is a good example but it is still not perfect.
