After the recent November security update. I've not had issues with anything. But there is one bug on Auto Blocker. It does not block install unknown apps. Before Samsung released the One UI 6.1.1 to eligible devices. The 6.1 version manages to block it by saying "Auto Blocker is on. Can't install unknown apps". However with the 6.1.1 version it doesn't block it. As you can see from my screenshot. I have auto blocker enabled with maximum restrictions. The pop up message doesn't come up and I can still toggle chrome on for example. I have tried sending an error report in October regarding the bug or issue. Two months later I had received no response. My mums Galaxy A25 is on the One Ui 6.1 version and it manages to block it with the pop up appearing prevent installing unknown apps.
Has anyone else have this issue🤔

Auto Blocker is enabled with maximum restrictions switched on. It doesn't come up with the message saying "Auto Blocker is on. Can't install unknown apps".

It's working as intended. You can enable the toggles but they won't work. If you actually try and install an app it'll block it. It gets blocked on install, it doesn't stop an app trying to install something, but it'll fail if it doesScreenshot_20241202_154440_Android System_1000053152_1733154292.png

Thanks for that. The previous version completely blocks it meaning you can't install anything. I don't install apps from unknown sources

@MNas04: Please note that, by toggling on Chrome (as per your screenshot), you are allowing your device to download apps from that source. The feature is likely to still be functional, however you won't see a pop-up unless you attempt to install an app from outside the Play Store or Galaxy Store, or a source that has not been 'allowed'.
