Samsung has long focused on the security of its smartphones. The Samsung Knox platform is built into Galaxy smartphones and already protects you from so-called zero-click exploits that aim to steal your data.
A zero-click exploit comes in the form of an attachment and immediately gets to work gaining control of your device or sensitive data. Samsung Knox already protects against such attachments in audio and video form, behind the scenes. Now, Galaxy users will also be protected from exploits in the form of an image.
Samsung Message Guard is a kind of sandbox, which quarantines any image file that arrives on your phone and checks if it is safe. The feature will initially work in Messages apps from Samsung and Google, but Samsung will roll it out to third-party messaging apps later this year.
A zero click exploit is very dangerous because your phone could be hijacked and your data stolen while you are sleeping or on the go.
Samsung Message Guard debuts on the Galaxy S23 series but is coming to other Galaxy devices later this year.
