Samsung has announced a big security and privacy update for its Galaxy smartphones. The company has introduced stronger on-device protections, smarter threat detection, and future-ready encryption. The update will roll out with One UI 8.
The main highlight of this update is the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP). This creates isolated storage environments for each app inside the device’s secure area, limiting access strictly to that app’s own sensitive data. The goal is to safeguard AI-driven features like Smart Gallery search and Now Brief, which rely on personal data to work well, without sending that data to the cloud.
