Privacy is a major concern in this tech era, but now not to worry as the Samsung Galaxy’s security and privacy features will stand beside you to keep your data safe with its three special features. 

Here we are discussing the Samsung Galaxy’s features that contribute to your phone’s security and privacy, adding an extra layer of safety and security. Below are the three features of the Samsung Galaxy that enhance users’ security experience.

• Pin App 
• Maintenance Mode 
• Secure Folder 

These functionalities let you decide what people can and can’t see, no matter who’s got your device in their hand. Check out the elaboration of these features mentioned below: 

Pin App- 

The Pin App prevents your crucial data from unauthorized access; it’s like a personal bouncer for your applications. Even after forcing this, it will stop illegal access from getting into places where they’re not welcome. This feature ensures that they remain precisely where they belong, within the pinned application and not anywhere else. This feature also appears as a Do Not Disturb sign; it indirectly helps avoid awkward pop-up notifications, which risk showing sensitive details when all you wanted to do was share a funny social media post. 

You can easily set up the Pin App by just following the steps mentioned here: 

• Go to Settings >> Security and Privacy >> Scroll down to find More Security Settings. Toggle the switch for the Pin App on. 

For extra security, you can also prefer ‘Ask for PIN before unpinning’ so whoever has your phone will need a password to get out of the pinned application. 

Maintenance Mode: 

Maintenance Mode protects you from the risk of unauthorized access to data while sending your device for repair. The Korean giants have introduced this feature just to the rescue by hiding your crucial data, creating a safe environment for repair without even compromising your privacy. 

Once you activate Maintenance Mode, you can set up a distinct user profile, ensuring your primary account and data remain private. This mode can be activated either through the device’s Settings, where you hit Device Care before navigating to and clicking Maintenance Mode, or through the Samsung Members app. After turning on the maintenance mode, you can cache all data, including photos, videos, contacts, and messages. Apart from this, it also makes sure that no data is erased by accident from the device, in scenarios like a repair service center. 

Secure Folder: 

Samsung Knox offers a layer of security and privacy, not only to protect users but also to give them an option for what they want to secure. Secure Folder is a container that locks away your data just to avoid illegal access through your phone’s regular storage. It can hold most private data, such as calendar schedules and contact information, as well as notes, images, videos, files, and applications. You have to set your lock type, for instance, a PIN, pattern, or password, when you open the Secure Folder for the very first time. You can also add fingerprint access. 

With these three features—Pin Apps, Maintenance Mode, and Secure Folder—Samsung is offering extra reassurance against a nosy look.

Google’s next iteration of Android 15 is actively mounting up for a stable release, as the giant has already made theAndroid 15 Beta 1.2 beta available to download. It appears that this new iteration is copying the Circle to Search feature from Samsung’s One UI 6.1. 

Google’s Circle to Search feature initially debuted on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series smartphones in January earlier this year; later, Google announced the feature for its Pixel and more Samsung smartphones, tablets, and foldable devices. This feature helps you directly search for anything appearing on the screen by just circling the object or text that you want to search for, without even needing to switch between the apps. 

Noticeably, this feature helps you even when you are using the application in split-screen mode on Galaxy devices; unfortunately, on Google Pixel devices, the feature will not be able to function in split-screen mode. But now the reports state that Google seems to be working on overcoming this limitation with Android 15. 

This is being speculated by the Android 15 beta running on the Pixel 8 Pro device. This Pixel Launcher has a flag that, when authorized, permits you to use Circle to Search even while you are in split-screen mode, the same as Galaxy smartphones and tablets. 

However, Google has yet to officially announce its plans to offer this feature in the stable version of Android 15, but it is expected that it will do so as it would be a quite convenient addition. As of April 2024, Circle to Search is available on the Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy S23 FE, the Galaxy Tab S9, and more devices through the One UI 6.1 update.

Samsung has brought several new features with the One UI 6.1 update.
