what's up YouTube jeff back from
0:01
Samiguru here and today going to talk a
0:03
little bit about the 1 UI 7.0 pause yes
0:06
it is rolling back out now but Samsung
0:08
did pause the roll out of 1 UI7 on the
0:10
S24 series ZFold 6 and Z Flip 6 for
0:14
around 4 to 5 days depending on which
0:16
region you're in and we still don't
0:17
really know exactly why there is some
0:19
speculation though that the issue that
0:22
could cause this is a security bug to do
0:24
with secure folder um that exposes some
0:27
information this was brought to light by
0:29
Sam Mobile and we reported on it as well
0:31
so today I want to take you guys through
0:32
it talk about what the bug is how you
0:35
can prevent this from actually being a
0:37
problem we don't really know if Samsung
0:39
has patched this yet with the uh hot fix
0:42
to 1 UI7 that they started rolling out
0:44
but we're going to look at it so you
0:45
guys can make sure this doesn't happen
0:47
to you when you install 1 UI7 on your
0:49
device before we get started I do want
0:51
to thank the sponsor of today's video
0:52
which is Mag and talk about their Mag
0:55
Elite case now you guys have heard me
0:57
talk about MagBack on the channel in the
0:59
past they just released their exciting
1:02
new series for the Galaxy S25 Ultra that
1:05
is the Mag Elite series which comes with
1:08
a number of features first of all right
1:10
here on the back you've got a finger
1:11
loop you can use to grip onto your phone
1:13
you've got a kickstand built into the
1:16
case as well of course you've got
1:18
support for G2 charging with this i've
1:20
tested it no problems at all also Magack
1:24
is the only magnetic case and even
1:27
before the S25 Ultra had G2 support that
1:29
allows you to also get perfect S Pen
1:32
compatibility a lot of these devices
1:35
whenever you attach something to the
1:37
magnets you get skipping with the S Pen
1:40
not so on the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the
1:42
Magack Elite now they do have a bunch of
1:45
different accessories as well and you
1:47
can utilize these accessories like here
1:48
I've got the black wallet you can snap
1:50
that right on there got the brown wallet
1:53
that they've sent me out in the past and
1:55
then of course they also have their mag
1:56
sticks which I've showed you guys also
1:58
that basically allow you to stick it to
2:00
anything i usually have it in my car to
2:02
use my phone while I'm driving you know
2:04
I can have it up there just displaying
2:06
whatever I want um it's basically allows
2:08
you to take your case and stick it to
2:10
anything you could stick it up say in
2:12
your office while you're working i use
2:14
it for that purpose sometimes you can
2:15
stick it up in your garage while you're
2:17
trying to assemble something you know
2:18
you have the instructions on your
2:20
smartphone magnets are incredibly strong
2:22
also you've got really impressive drop
2:23
protection on this particular case you
2:26
can see the raised up lip there on this
2:28
case if you go to Magabback's website
2:30
they also have a discount code specific
2:32
to my subscribers i'll have it somewhere
2:34
up here and also in the pin comment and
2:36
description one of the other things you
2:38
can do with this case which a lot of
2:39
people don't realize is you can
2:40
customize the buttons and you can also
2:43
customize the finger loop and you can
2:45
also now customize the little grip
2:47
section right here so you guys can see
2:48
the grip section along the side get that
2:50
in focus that can all be customized they
2:52
actually have sets of buttons that you
2:54
can purchase they've got different sets
2:57
of the grip section you guys can see
2:58
that my grip section is actually black
3:01
but I swapped it out in the back for the
3:03
red finger loop got kind of an MKBHD
3:06
vibe right there on top of all of that
3:08
all of that great stuff you also get a
3:10
screen protector in the box with the
3:13
Magack Elite case which has a very
3:15
simple install i've got a separate one
3:17
here that I can show you guys it's got
3:19
Eminem right there saying you only got
3:21
one shot go ahead and show the video
3:23
there the QR code very simple to install
3:25
so you also get a screen protector you
3:27
get some added value with that if you
3:28
guys want to check it out it's one of my
3:30
favorite cases for the Galaxy S25 Ultra
3:32
i'll have the link in the pin comment
3:33
description and uh like I said you can
3:35
also get the discount code specifically
3:37
for my subscribers have it up here and
3:39
it'll be down there as well all right so
3:41
let's go ahead and get right into it
3:42
this secure folder privacy flaw could be
3:44
why Samsung pulled 1 UI7 we did cover
3:46
this over on the website make sure you
3:47
guys bookmark the site samigguru.com
3:49
check back every day of course you can
3:50
get in on our mystery box program all
3:52
the other great stuff we do at Samigguru
3:53
Rewards um Sam Mobile um the people over
3:56
there found that in 1 UI7 with secure
3:59
folder the encrypted space that we use
4:01
for files apps media all the stuff you
4:03
want to keep private gallery inside
4:05
there can unintentionally expose its
4:07
content outside the protected
4:08
environment and you really don't have to
4:10
do anything you don't have to be an
4:11
expert hacker you don't really even have
4:12
to know anything about 1 UI or Samsung
4:14
phones or Android at all it's very
4:16
simple so basically here's what happens
4:18
if you go into your secure folder if you
4:20
have a secure folder set up um what's
4:22
going to happen is let me put in my pin
4:25
here and you go into secure folder if
4:27
you have photos that are stored in here
4:29
so if we go into the gallery you guys
4:31
will see I have some photos stored in
4:32
the gallery these are just some that I
4:34
put here for demonstration purposes but
4:37
maybe you store a lot of photos in
4:38
Secure Folder for the gallery it's a
4:40
primary purpose a lot of people use it
4:41
for now if you go into the settings
4:44
inside of the gallery you will actually
4:46
notice and I went to the wrong spot go
4:48
down here to settings inside the gallery
4:51
you'll notice that there's this option
4:52
to autocreate stories this exists inside
4:56
of the regular gallery application as
4:58
well and what it does is if this is
5:00
turned on which it is turned on by
5:02
default it will create stories based on
5:04
your photos so if you take a bunch of
5:06
photos on a family vacation to let's say
5:09
Disneyland then it will use AI to
5:13
automatically kind of put together like
5:15
a slideshow story of that which you then
5:18
can view now here's the security issue
5:20
that comes into play when it autocreates
5:23
stories inside the regular gallery app
5:26
but also inside of secure folder it
5:28
sends you a push notification up here in
5:31
your notification shade letting you know
5:33
that the story is ready along with a
5:35
preview of this i tried to reproduce it
5:38
making an autocreate story so I could do
5:40
this video but it's kind of hard to
5:41
force it to create a story because you
5:43
need to take like specific chain of
5:45
pictures over a given time and usually
5:47
it needs to be fairly recent so I wasn't
5:49
able to but a notification will show up
5:51
here saying "Check out this story have a
5:53
little preview of it." Here's the bad
5:54
news if it's in your regular gallery of
5:57
course you can tap on the notification
5:58
just like this X notification it'll take
6:00
you to the gallery you can view the
6:02
story however if it is in your secure
6:05
folder gallery and it autocreates the
6:07
story you can also view the preview of
6:10
the story and if you tap on it it'll
6:12
take you directly into the secure folder
6:15
gallery app and you'll be able to view
6:17
all the private photos that are
6:19
associated to that story obviously this
6:21
is a huge problem because that means
6:24
anything that's stored in your secure
6:25
folder if there's an autogenerated story
6:28
someone could be browsing your phone
6:30
they could see the autogenerated story
6:31
tap on it and view all those private
6:33
photos associated to that story without
6:36
putting in your pattern your pen your
6:38
fingerprint any kind of biometrics to
6:41
get into secure folder so this is
6:43
currently the leading theory i don't
6:46
know 100% if this is the case or not but
6:48
this is one of the leading theories
6:50
about what may have caused Samsung to
6:52
pull this 1 UI7 update and pause it for
6:56
a certain amount of time it completely
6:59
bypasses any of the security that secure
7:01
folder enforces and they were able to
7:04
reproduce it across the S24 series Z
7:06
Flip 6 and Fold 6 running 1 UI7 since it
7:09
exists on all those devices it's
7:11
obviously not hardware specific it is
7:13
probably a 1 UI7 issue now since I
7:16
received the hot fix on my Galaxy ZFold
7:18
Special Edition I haven't received it
7:20
yet on my S24 Ultra unfortunately I have
7:23
added a bunch of photos that I snap
7:25
directly to my secure folder gallery and
7:28
I'm waiting to see if I get a push
7:30
notification with an autogenerated story
7:32
so I can try to confirm if this issue
7:35
has been fixed in the hot fix update
7:38
that rolled out after the 1 UI7 pause so
7:41
the easiest thing to do for now though
7:43
until we're 100% sure that this is fixed
7:45
of course is to go into secure folder go
7:48
into gallery go to settings and then
7:50
make sure you turn off autocreate
7:52
stories keep in mind this will not
7:55
affect if you go into your regular
7:56
gallery application this will not affect
7:59
the autocreate stories option inside
8:02
your regular gallery so if you still
8:03
want that on that's fine those are two
8:05
separate things secure folder gallery
8:07
and regular gallery are separate if you
8:09
turn off autocreate stories inside
8:11
secure folders gallery which I do
8:13
recommend at this point until we know
8:14
this is patched it will not turn it off
8:17
here you can turn it off there as well
8:18
if you don't want them but it won't
8:20
affect it if you do it in the secure
8:22
folder anyway hope you guys enjoyed this
8:24
video hopefully it was helpful for you
8:25
to understand what's going on
8:26
potentially one of the reasons why
8:28
Samsung may have paused the 1UI7 roll
8:29
out there's a couple of other thoughts
8:31
out there about issues with thirdparty
8:33
keyboards and other things but uh this
8:35
is the one that seems like a pretty big
8:37
security flaw that needed to be patched
8:39
