Protect all your messaging apps in One UI 6.1: Here’s how

Published

Samsung Message Guard

Samsung Galaxy phones feature Auto Blocker functionality for enhanced security. In particular, One UI 6.1 has a Message Guard feature that protects all your messaging apps. This feature is readily available on most Galaxy phones and the activation process is also simple.

One UI 6.1 Message Guard neutralizes potential threats to protect your messaging apps. When enabled, it will neutralize any potential threats that might be hiding in the image before it has a chance to do any harm by effectively trapping the file in an isolated space.

You don’t need to worry about initiating the process either since Message Guard runs silently and effectively 24/7 in the background without needing to be activated in any way.

In case your Galaxy device receives an image and vibrates gently in your pocket or on your bedside table before going still. You haven’t touched your phone or facilitated any input, but someone may already be reading your messages, browsing your gallery, or copying your bank details.

While the image is put into quarantine, Samsung Message Guard checks the file bit by bit — processing it in a controlled environment to prevent infection to the rest of your device.

One threat that is becoming increasingly common is the zero-click attack, which exploits vulnerabilities in your device software. This can take place any time an image is received and does not require any action whatsoever on the user’s part.

Message Guard works with a range of popular messaging apps that you probably already use, from Google and Samsung apps to Messenger, Telegram and WhatsApp.

Samsung Nearby Scanning Galaxy Ring

Some of the Galaxy Ring features were discovered in Samsung Health ahead of launch. The company confirmed its next Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris, France. The brand’s first ring-style health-tracking device will also be released at the event.

AndroidAuthority in its APKTeardown of Samsung Health discovered the UI of Galaxy Ring features. The revelation confirms that this innovative device will allow you to measure your heart rate and stress. You can also use the Ring to measure skin temperature and predict periods.

When paired with Galaxy as a companion, the Galaxy Ring will enable its Snore detection feature. It should be noted that some of these features require your phone to be nearby and charging. The Health app will also need permission to record audio through your phone to detect snores.

The Galaxy Ring is expected to support more features during the official launch. Features that are spotted in Samsung Health are from the latest version of the app. The app would get a major update, bringing Ring-related features following the release next month.

Samsung is expected to launch at least nine sizes of the Galaxy Ring. The largest size will have a larger battery capacity, allowing you to use it for a longer period on a single charge. Potential buyers will have the option to order a Sizing Kit before getting the Ring delivered.

Apart from the Galaxy Ring, the South Korean tech giant will introduce many more products. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 will take center stage. Besides, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will join the event alongside the Watch 7 series and Buds 3 series.
