The soon-to-be-released One UI 7 from Samsung features an Automatic Verification option to simplify the browsing experience and skip over CAPTCHAs. In other words, you can no longer select traffic lights, interpret rainbow-colored blurry words, or click a box indicating you're not a robot. For future use on Samsung devices, the feature will exist as a part of their custom Android skin, making web browsing easier for users without sacrificing security. This post will provide all the information you'll need about this innovative new feature.

Goodbye CAPTCHAs, Hello Seamless Browsing

CAPTCHAs have been a necessary, but often an annoying, feature of internet security for a long time. Designed to prevent bots and spam, using CAPTCHAs usually interrupts an enjoyable user experience. Samsung’s Automatic Verification functionality in its Overlay, One UI 7, looks to remove this interruption to your experience. With Automatic Verification, Samsung devices will automatically verify a user’s legitimacy without needing to respond to a CAPTCHA, as well as improving the speed of logins, account setup, transactions, and website navigation – all while creating a smoother and more pleasant user experience.

How Does Automatic Verification Work?

It is probable that Samsung’s Automatic Verification is based on Private Access Tokens (PATs), a technology that is currently supported by industry leaders Apple and Google. Tokens allow the site or app to have confidence that the user is legitimate without forcing the user to manually complete a CAPTCHA. In short, rather than perform arduous human-verification tasks, Samsung devices will "send" trustworthy secure proof that the request originates from a genuine user which creates less friction while still maintaining security on the backend that prevents malicious bots from interrupting or harming the experience.

Security and Privacy: Is It Safe?

Samsung has made a commitment that Automatic Verification will not risk user privacy. The system will use encrypted tokens, not collecting or sharing any user data. This protects security while enhancing the browsing experience.  Further, Samsung users will have discretion to utilize this feature, being in charge of enabling and disabling it through their settings. This naturally provides both adaptability and transparency for users who wish to keep verification traditional.

Who Will Benefit from This Feature?

This One UI 7 feature will prove especially effective for:

  • Frequent online shoppers: No more CAPTCHA interruptions when checking out.
  • Banking and financial users: Logins and transaction will be faster and without the hassle of CAPTCHAs.
  • Everyday users: Less frustration while browsing or logging in to apps.Older users or users with accessibility concerns: Less cognitive load and more user-friendly access to CAPTCHAs..

When Will One UI 7 Be Available?

Although Samsung has not yet confirmed an official date of release for One UI 7, it is expected to be available later this year alongside the Android 15 update. The first devices to get the update are expected to be the Galaxy S24 family, Foldables, and current Galaxy A devices, with older devices getting the update shortly thereafter.

Final Thoughts

A Step Towards Frictionless Browsing Samsung’s Automatic Verification feature in One UI 7 is a notable progression in enhancing the user experience. By eliminating CAPTCHAs, the feature helps users save time, reduces frustration, and improves accessibility while maintaining security standards. As the digital ecosystem continues to evolve and mature, innovations like the Automatic Verification feature show that major tech companies are trying to improve the web and make it faster, smarter, and easier to use. If One UI 7 delivers on its promise, it could mean Samsung users will never again have to click "I'm not a robot."
