Hello,

You can stay safe from security threats with Auto Blocker in One UI 6.

Get an extra level of protection for your apps and data. Auto Blocker prevents unknown apps from being installed, checks for malware, and blocks malicious commands from being sent to your phone using a USB cable.

Do you still need third party virus protection?

Thank you for your kind interest in the new feature, Auto Blocker.

Auto Blocker keeps 'Device protection' on.
Device protection by Samsung and McAfee keeps your phone safe by searching for malware and suspicious activity.

* US careers' devices do not support Device protection.

Is there a way to allow F Droid as well in auto-blocker as trusted app store?
