JAKARTA Samsung has reset the sideload system on the latest Galaxy phones. This protection system called Auto Blocker will block the download attempt of Android applications via a browser. Reporting from 9to5google, the Auto Blocker system has been added to all Galaxy phones that use Android 14 with One UI 6. However, this system only protects devices from malware and USB hijacking efforts. Once updated at One 6.1.1, Auto Blockers are now limiting sideloads or downloads outside official app stores by default via Maximum Restrictions. This sideload ban only applies to Android applications. "Prevent automatic downloading of message attachments to protect against malicious software, yet still allowing manual downloads from trusted sources," Samsung wrote on its official website.

The first device running One UI 6.1.1 is the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. When distributed to users, this device has implemented a sideload restriction system automatically. However, users can still disable the system. When you first open Settings, users will be notified that Samsung has implemented Auto Blockers. In addition to banning downloads of Android apps on unofficial sites, users cannot update the software via USB cables. If you are interrupted by this update, you can disable the system by opening Settings, then clicking the Privacy Security menu. Open the Auto Blocker menu, then click the toggle button next to it until the word Off is listed.
