Samsung One UI 7.0 lets you transfer recovered, private data to new device

The most anticipated One UI 7 Beta Program kicked off yesterday. Among the most highlighting advancements, Samsung announced that the One UI 7.0 allows you to transfer recovered, private data to a new device.

Leveraging Knox Matrix, the new software brings a new recovery method for Enhanced Data Protection. Samsung’s One UI 7.0 adds ease and convenience to the process of retrieving data stored on Samsung Cloud.

Samsung’s Enhanced Data Protection feature keeps connected devices synchronized and secure, as well as ensures that if access to a trusted device is lost, users have a backup plan to prevent the loss of their data.

With One UI 7.0, Samsung Galaxy smartphone users will be able to transfer recovered, private data to a new device by verifying the lock screen factor — whether pin, pattern, or password — of their previous device.

Simply put, you will gain access to the recovered data on your new device by the lock screen factor using the security pick of your old device. The feature may safely store your security factor to ease the verification process during recovery.

You may find it less useful, but it will become a boon in case you are about to lose your data. Knox Matrix is a vision for the future, enhancing protection through multi-layered, intelligent threat monitoring between connected Samsung devices.

Apart from this, Samsung users can now also create and use passkeys to log into their Samsung Account. As digital authentication credentials, passkeys enable a faster, easier way to securely log in to apps, devices, and websites.

One UI 7 introduces even more ways users can adjust security settings to best suit how they use their devices. Read more here: One UI 7 introduces advanced security and privacy features for Samsung devices
