One UI 6.1: How to activate Auto Blocker feature on Samsung devices
In today’s era, ensuring our online activities remain secure is very important. For that, Samsung has a powerful feature called Auto Blocker, which enhances user privacy and protects devices from cyber threats effectively. You can easily activate the Auto Blocker feature on your Samsung One UI 6.1 devices.
Auto Blocker feature is mainly valuable for safeguarding against malware and viruses that often infiltrate your device via applications outside the official platform such as the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store.
It prevents devices from downloading applications without user confirmation from suspicious sources. Users can enjoy a safer browsing experience with minimized exposure to potential threats.
Moreover, the feature also blocks unauthorized commands attempting to access the device through the USB port. This feature is especially useful when connecting devices to transfer files.

By enabling Auto Blocker, users significantly reduce the risk of malware and viruses infiltrating their devices through untrusted sources. This feature not only safeguards your personal data but also enhances the overall security of your Samsung device.

Samsung is working on a “Family Data Sharing” feature for Galaxy Watch through the Health app. The feature is under development and may be rolled out after the Galaxy Unpacked event next month. Interestingly, we already have our first look at the feature’s user interface.
AndroidAuthority managed to activate the UI of the Galaxy Watch Family Data Sharing feature within Samsung Health app. It will let you monitor the data that your child or family member’s smartwatch receives. It would require manual setup, giving consent to link across Samsung accounts.
Samsung has also focussed on privacy and security while creating the data-sharing feature. The under-development user interface suggests that all members of the family will be able to stop sharing or change what and how much they share at any time.
Before you trigger, the function will display what’s going to be shared under the data-sharing feature. Additionally, you will need guardian consent to access a child’s health info. Once shared, the data will be deleted automatically after a certain period of inactivity.
Samsung should bring this upgrade to all smartwatch models with the One UI 6 Watch update. The app’s code doesn’t have any restrictive codes that would keep it limited to the upcoming Watch lineup. Galaxy AI’s inclusion is also appreciated, up-leveling health monitoring.
