TL;DR<\/p>\n
Samsung phones offer a robust suite of security features, from powerful, built-in protections like Samsung Knox<\/a> to optional anti-theft settings<\/a> you have to turn on manually. Locating and enabling all these security toggles can be a challenge, but the next big One UI update introduces a more user-friendly way to bolster your device\u2019s security.<\/p>\n The One UI 8<\/a> update will introduce an optional Advanced Protection security mode<\/a>, a one-click toggle that activates a variety of system and app-level security features. For example, it enables sideloading protection, USB data protection, and 2G network protection. While Advanced Protection is designed for high-risk users who may be targeted by sophisticated attackers, it\u2019s available to anyone who wants to better safeguard their data.<\/p>\n To turn on Advanced Protection, follow these steps on your Samsung phone running One UI 8:<\/p>\n Mishaal Rahman \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n This new mode is part of Android 16<\/a> and builds on Google\u2019s Advanced Protection Program, which provides additional safeguards against unauthorized account access for high-risk users. Currently, Advanced Protection only toggles the features listed on its page and doesn\u2019t control any of Samsung\u2019s custom security settings. However, that could change if Samsung integrates the Advanced Protection API, which allows third-party apps and services to check if the mode is active and enable their own security measures.<\/p>\n For a more detailed breakdown of what Advanced Protection does and whether you should enable it, check out this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
