- Samsung seems to be developing a new “Alert Center” in One UI 8 to notify users about sneaky apps, security risks, and aging account settings.
- Code strings describing “Alert Center” and its features were discovered in an internal One UI 8 build.
- It’s unclear when Samsung will launch the new security hub, but it should be available in your phone’s Settings when and if it goes live.

We’ve inspected an internal One UI 8 build and uncovered strings revealing a brand-new feature called “Alert Center,” a kind of centralized hub for privacy and security alerts related to your device.
