How to Use AI Network Guard in Samsung One UI 9

Samsung's One UI 9 is here and it includes a feature that has been a long-awaited addition: AI Network Guard. This feature allows you to control which apps can access the internet over mobile data and Wi-Fi, giving you more control over your device's internet usage. Here's how to use AI Network Guard in One UI 9 to protect your privacy and optimize your device's performance.

Step 1: Accessing AI Network Guard

To access AI Network Guard, open the Settings app on your device and navigate to 'Connections' or 'Mobile networks'. From there, you'll find the 'AI Network Guard' option. If you haven't enabled it yet, you'll need to do so first.

Step 2: Configuring AI Network Guard

Once you've enabled AI Network Guard, you can start configuring it. Here are some standout recommendations for setting up AI Network Guard:

Add Apps to Guard List: To control which apps can use the internet, you can add them to the Guard List. This list includes apps that are deemed unnecessary for internet access, such as social media apps, messaging apps, and games. Simply tap the 'Add to Guard List' button and select the apps you want to control.
Set Time Limits: If you want to limit when certain apps can use the internet, you can set time limits. This is useful for apps that are only used during specific times of the day, such as social media apps or streaming services. To set time limits, tap on the app you want to limit, then select 'Time Limits' and set the start and end times.

Step 3: Monitoring and Adjusting

After setting up AI Network Guard, you can monitor its performance and make adjustments as needed. You can check the Guard List and Time Limits settings at any time to see which apps are currently being controlled and when they can use the internet. If you need to add or remove apps from the Guard List, you can do so at any time.

By using AI Network Guard, you can protect your privacy and optimize your device's performance. It's a simple yet powerful feature that's worth enabling in One UI 9. Try it out and see how it can benefit your device's internet usage.
