Question:

What are the specific functions of the Auto Blocker feature?

Answer:

The Auto Blocker feature has several important functions to protect your device from malicious activities. It can:

Block app installations from unknown sources (like Galaxy Store or other app stores), ensuring only trusted apps from official stores can be installed.

Stop commands from being sent to your phone via USB cable from a PC or other devices, protecting against unauthorized control of your device.

Use Messaging app protection to detect and block images that might contain malware in third-party messaging apps.

Activate App protection mode, which includes security checks for suspicious activity within your installed apps.

Apply Samsung Message Guard to third-party messaging apps, blocking images that might contain malicious programs.

Block installation of unofficial software binaries through download mode by USB cable.

To access and adjust these settings, go to Settings > Security and privacy > Auto Blocker (default setting: off). Note that enabling these features might lead to unintended consequences if their settings are misunderstood, but this doesn't mean there's a problem with your device.
