    It’s in the article : “Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature takes things a bit further.The feature, fully blocks the installation of apps from unauthorized sources, even if those sources were granted the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission.”

      Damn. Finished the paragraph before it and made the comment. Lol. Interesting. Seems redundant.

      So this new update (assuming the update ads this too) i just got today should have killed my revanced apps?

        This is only for phones that come with One UI 6.1.1 by default and there’s a page during OOBE setup with a toggle for this “feature”.

        An update to your existing phone will not turn on this block, it’s only for new phones.

        I don’t have a Samsung but I would imagine that this only blocks new installations and looks like that it can be easily disabled if you don’t want it
