This article is about AdGuard for Android, a multifunctional ad blocker that protects your device at the system level. To see how it works, [download the AdGuard app](https://agrd.io/download-kb-adblock) | ||

Starting with One UI 6.1.1 (Android 14), Samsung introduced a security enhancement called *Auto Blocker*, which is enabled by default on the latest Galaxy smartphones. This feature automatically blocks sideloaded apps from unverified sources unless the user manually overrides the setting. | ||
|
||
Since AdGuard for Android [can’t be published on Google Play](https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-google-play-removal.html), you have to install it manually. However, with the new *Auto Blocker* feature enabled, some users may experience problems when installing AdGuard APK files. To address this issue, we’ve provided a step-by-step guide on how to disable *Auto Blocker* below. | ||
|
||
## How to disable Auto Blocker | ||
|
||
Follow the instructions to turn off *Auto Blocker*. | ||
|
||
1. Open your device settings | ||
1. Go to *Security and privacy* | ||
1. Scroll down and select *Auto Blocker* | ||
1. Toggle the setting off | ||
