Samsung upgrades your Galaxy phone’s Auto Blocker feature

Samsung has rolled out a new update for the Auto Blocker feature with version 1.2.01.7, which brings improvements to security to enhance overall device performance. This update fixes some common issues and makes Galaxy devices ready for future updates.

Auto Blocker offers a new “Maximum restrictions” feature for stronger protection for users who need extra security. When activated, this feature limits certain functions on your device to keep it safer.

In addition, when using “Maximum restrictions,” some features in Samsung Messages and Gallery will be restricted. This helps protect your messages and photos from unauthorized access.

Looking ahead to One UI 7.0, the “Maximum restrictions” feature also blocks USB connections, prevents your device from using 2G networks, and stops it from automatically reconnecting to unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

With the new software updates, Samsung is preparing Galaxy devices to take full advantage of these enhanced security features when One UI 7.0 is released for their devices. Currently, users of the Galaxy S24 series are enjoying the new features and several other Galaxy flagship devices also received its support via a new update.

If you’ve received the latest Auto Blocker update, you can install it now through the Galaxy Store by going to Menu >> Updates. Alternatively, you can download the update from a third-party app link provided.
