- Samsung’s One UI 8 update will introduce a new “Advanced Protection” mode, a one-click toggle to easily enable multiple security features at once.
- This optional mode activates various safeguards, such as blocking app sideloading, preventing USB data access, and disabling 2G network connections.
- The feature is part of Android 16 and expands on Google’s Advanced Protection Program, making high-level security accessible to all users.
Samsung phones offer a robust suite of security features, from powerful, built-in protections like Samsung Knox to optional anti-theft settings you have to turn on manually. Locating and enabling all these security toggles can be a challenge, but the next big One UI update introduces a more user-friendly way to bolster your device’s security.
The One UI 8 update will introduce an optional Advanced Protection security mode, a one-click toggle that activates a variety of system and app-level security features. For example, it enables sideloading protection, USB data protection, and 2G network protection. While Advanced Protection is designed for high-risk users who may be targeted by sophisticated attackers, it’s available to anyone who wants to better safeguard their data.
