Samsung One UI 7 Brings New Security and Privacy Features
Samsung with the One UI 7 adds a layer of security and privacy to enhance users’ secure experience. The update has brought five improved security features, including Knox Matrix, a new recovery method for Enhanced Data Protection, Passkeys support for Samsung Account, Auto Blocker’s improved Maximum Restriction option, and improved theft protection. These features will enhance the overall system security. Let’s explore the features.
Knox Matrix Dashboard
This is a security monitoring system based on blockchain that creates a private blockchain between all your Samsung devices and monitors threats on those devices.
A new recovery method for Enhanced Data Protection
The Enhanced Data Protection feature helps to keep the data on Samsung Cloud end-to-end encrypted and sync it to your Galaxy devices. It will be efficient in scenes where you lost your Samsung device, and then it will help you to recover the data and restore it to a new device by verifying the lost device’s password, pattern, or PIN.
Passkeys support for Samsung Account
Samsung with the One UI allows you to create a passkey for your Samsung Account and use it to log into your Samsung devices such as the AII Family Hub Refrigerator, smartphone, tablet, or TV.
Auto Blocker’s improved Maximum Restriction option
With One UI 7, Samsung introduced “Maximum Restriction” for Galaxy devices, which will prevent the device from connecting to 2G networks or unsecured Wi-Fi networks. It will enhance security and protect the device from connecting to unauthorized networks.
Improved Theft Protection
It will be efficient in particular scenarios; for instance, if your Galaxy smartphone finds itself in an unfamiliar location, it will require biometric authentication to make any changes to the device’s security settings.
