Samsung’s One UI’s new feature to offer users proactive privacy and security alerts notifying them when apps access messages, microphone or camera when not in use

July 2, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Samsung’s One UI 8 update is adding an “Alert Center” to its list of security features. The new feature comes as a more robust notification system, alerting the user to security flaws that can be easily addressed. This feature goes beyond the general cues seen in Android when certain apps have access to sensitive data, like your camera or microphone. Normally, a little green dot is visible in the top status bar, but Samsung wants to go beyond that with proactive alerts. The Alert Center will offer notifications for privacy and security alerts. Sensitive functions like the camera will be part of that system, alerting users if apps still have access to their camera when not in use. Further, notifications can notify users that certain apps were able to access messages or the microphone. The report also indicates that One UI 8 security alerts will include outdated software notifications, found malware, unsecured accounts, and reminders to set biometric security features. While Samsung has made One UI capable of preventing threats in a similar vein possible, the Alert Center looks like a further step in ensuring users ar keeping their devices tight to their chest.
