Samsung Galaxy S24 gets One UI 7 Beta in the US, UK, Germany and more countries

Samsung has announced the One UI 7 beta program, which introduces powerful security features that aim to enhance user privacy in today’s AI era. With One UI 7, Samsung Galaxy devices are ready to offer greater transparency and control over personal data.

One UI 7 advances Knox Matrix, Theft Protection, Auto Blocker and more enabling higher device safety. Let’s explore what new changes coming with the 7th iteration of One UI.

Knox Matrix 

For future security, Samsung uses multi-layered intelligent threat monitoring to protect connected devices with the Knox Matrix feature. The new dashboard lets users easily monitor the security status of all their Samsung smart devices, from Galaxy mobiles to TVs and home appliances. When all devices are secure, they show up as ‘green’ on the dashboard.

One UI 7 simplifies data recovery with Enhanced Data Protection, allowing users to transfer recovered data to new devices using the lock screen verification of their previous device.

Moreover, the update introduces passkeys for faster, safer logins to Samsung accounts and other connected devices using the fingerprint sensor on smartphones.

Maximum Restrictions

One UI 7 offers enhanced controls for network connections, which allows users to block 2G services and prevent automatic reconnection to potentially unsafe Wi-Fi networks. This ensures that data remains private while providing the option to connect manually.

This update improves Maximum Restrictions to allow users to remove location data in shared photos, prevent automatic attachment downloads and block hyperlinks, previews, and shared albums.

Safe Install

One UI 7 introduces the Safe Install feature to protect against malicious apps that come from sideloading. It works alongside Auto Blocker to warn users if they try to download apps from unauthorized sources. This helps prevent accidental installation of risky apps.

Advanced Theft Protection

Samsung’s One UI 7 enhances Theft Protection with features exclusive to Galaxy devices. It includes the Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock. The new Identity Check feature safeguards your data if your PIN becomes compromised.

If suspicious activity is detected, extra protections are activated. In unfamiliar locations, changes to security settings require biometric authentication, and a one-hour delay prevents unauthorized changes to your device.

Overall, One UI 7 takes your security to the next level with advanced security features in an AI-driven world. One UI 7 Beta will be available for the Galaxy S24 series in limited countries from December 5. The official One UI 7 release will start with the next S series, Galaxy S25.
