HyperOS 2.0 to raise security standards with ‘Enhanced Protection’ tool

Xiaomi is seemingly ready to raise the bar of security with HyperOS 2.0 – thanks to the “Enhanced Protection” feature. The respective tool recently sneaked into the real world and claims to offer the best security from privacy threats and malware.

HyperOS 2.0 Enhanced Protection is the company’s new measure towards protecting its devices from risky apps. Yes! We often download such apps to our devices that appear interesting but are dangerous. They leak data to third-party servers.

Even if we try to remain alert, it’s impossible to recognize which app is safe or a risk to our device. However, Xiaomi is bringing a solution to this issue in the form of an Enhanced Protection feature. It will shield your device from all possible risks.

Under this feature, the Xiaomi App Store will test the app’s security and risk level before installing it on your device. In simple words, only those apps can access your device that is being tested by the company’s official application store.

It will automatically restrict the downloading of any such app that seems a risk to the device’s security. Thus, the feature protects users’ data from bad applications or malware found in the App Store. It also prevents viruses or other issues that install on your phone automatically due to unverified apps or services.

The feature was initially spotted by XiaomiTime. It follows a three-step review for every app before installing it on a user’s device. These processes are:

• Four automatic detections
• Professional Review
• Protection standards regarding privacy and security

When enabled, the feature will test every app before downloading and automatically prohibit any risky or buggy application. Thus, users can install apps without worrying about their device or data security.

The feature will likely debut with the HyperOS 2.0 this month. The tech giant has yet to announce an official release date for unveiling the new software. Though we may get the details on this matter soon.
