Samsung is expanding One UI 6.1.1 to several Galaxy devices. The new software update brings various new features and functional improvements. One UI 6.1.1 also upgrades the Auto Blocker feature for extra-strong security.
One UI 6 debuted the Auto Blocker feature to unlock enhanced security on Galaxies. Samsung has located the feature within Security and Privacy under Settings. The new One UI 6.1.1 takes Auto Blocker capabilities another step ahead.
Auto Blocker protects your device and data by preventing the installation of apps from unauthorized sources and blocking malicious activity. Simply put, the feature, when activated, doesn’t allow app sideloading on Galaxy devices.
Starting with One UI 6.1.1, additional security features including Maximum restrictions, have been added. You can now set Auto Blocker to apply maximum restrictions to get the highest level of protection against malware and security threats.

Step 1. Turn on the Auto Blocker feature > Tap Maximum restrictions.
Step 2. Turn on the switch to enable.
While enabling Maximum restrictions, some of your phone’s features will be restricted.
Turns on App protection: Checks apps installed for malicious activity.
Blocks device admin apps: Prevents activation of device admin apps and work profiles to protect against potential malicious attacks.
Blocks auto downloading attachments: Prevents automatic downloads of message attachments to protect against malicious software, while still allowing manual downloads from trusted sources.
Blocks hyperlinks and previews: Protects you from accidentally clicking on hyperlinks or viewing preview images, keeping you safe from malicious websites.
Removes location data when sharing pictures: Prevents the recipient from being able to determine where the picture was taken when you attach a picture to a message in Samsung Messages or share a picture from Samsung Gallery.
Blocks shared albums: Protects you from sharing sensitive information and accepting invites from unknown senders.

Samsung September 2024 Security Update Plan: Monthly, Quarterly, and Biannual models revealed
Geopolitical tensions in Taiwan may lead Nvidia to switch AI chip production from TSMC to Samsung. The company is currently facing yield issues with its cutting-edge 3nm semiconductor fabrication node GAA.
Nvidia CEO recently stated that “agility and their capability to respond to our needs is just incredible,” but “if necessary, of course, we can always bring up others.” Hence, Samsung has an urgent need to enhance its 3nm yield for AI processors.
The top executive mentioned that Nvidia could switch suppliers if necessary, due to concerns like rising geopolitical tensions in Taiwan. However, switching semiconductor production from TSMC might “result in lower-quality products.”
The South Korean tech giant is scrambling to improve its manufacturing yield, which refers to the ratio of good and error-free units to the total number of units produced. But the number is not improving as fast as Samsung hopes.
Samsung failed to secure Nvidia orders for advanced AI processors such as H Series or Blackwell. Last year, the company secured Nvidia’s orders for 8-nanometer-based chips like the Tegra for automobiles and the RTX-3000 GPU in 2020.
The company’s 3nm yield rate remained single digit until the first quarter of the year. This impacted the mass production of the Exynos 2500 chipset, which was rumored to be utilized in the Galaxy S25 series next year.
