In our increasingly connected world, data powers almost everything we do. It affects the way we search, shop and show up online, and it even influences the way our devices function. While people are becoming more aware of the need to protect their personal information, they’re also realizing it’s a valuable commodity that can be used to enhance their online experiences. Recent research found that over half (53%)1 of global consumers believe the exchange of data is important to society running smoothly. Nearly as many (47%)1 are happy to share data with businesses in exchange for a clear benefit.
In line with this, Samsung Galaxy users can decide who sees their data and how it gets used. As part of the latest update to One UI 5, the Security and Privacy Dashboard on Galaxy devices has been upgraded to make data safety even easier to manage.
Security and personal information protection menus have been merged, giving users a view of information that may be at risk. In one convenient place, the Dashboard can show the safety status of security items, let users quickly change settings and help them manage risks more seamlessly. The items that can make the biggest impact on digital safety — including Lock Screen, Accounts, SmartThings Find, App Safety and Updates — are now instantly accessible at the top of the dashboard, and intuitive red, yellow or green alerts show issues at a glance and provide clear indicators if there are security issues. The upgraded hub includes instant action prompts, such as permissions, that make data decisions more transparent.
