SAMSUNG has unveiled a new feature that handles one of the internet’s most annoying features: CAPTCHAs.
CAPTCHAs are those pesky response tests that determine whether you are really a human and not a bot.

There are many different versions of this online spam prevention tool – from spelling out a jumbled series of letters and numbers to clicking pictures containing the same object.
But Samsung’s latest mobile update, One UI 7, completely alleviates any need to interact with them.
A new Automatic Verification tool, available in the Samsung Internet browser, can skip straight past them.
It also ensures your personal data isn’t collected in the process.
The new feature can make logins faster, and a general web surf much smoother.
Samsung Internet is the native browser option on all Galaxy devices.
While most people still use the pre-installed Google Chrome browser – the new feature may encourage people to opt for Samsung Internet more often.
One UI 7 is currently only available on Galaxy S25 series devices.
The update will be rolling out to other Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, on 7 April.
To use Automatic Verification, you will have to update your device to One UI 7.
Next, open Samsung Internet and tap the menu button – this is the hamburger icon in the bottom right corner.
Tap Privacy and you should see a tab for Smart anti-tracking.
Here, you can toggle on Automatic Verification.
SammyGuru, which first reported the news, said the feature was enabled by default.
Though you can always check it for yourself.
Samsung charging tip – how to charge best
Here’s Samsung’s official advice…
To get the most out of your smartphone’s battery, you’ll need to charge it properly.
Most Smartphones have a lithium-ion battery that lives longer when charged regularly.
Unlike the nickel batteries used in older phones, lithium-ion batteries do best when kept above a 50 percent charge.
Repeatedly allowing the battery to drain fully may shorten its life and decrease its overall capacity.
If this happens, you’ll need to charge the battery more frequently and it may last only a few hours before needing a charge, for example.
Leaving the phone connected to the charger (when the phone is completely charged) while you are using it may lower battery life if you do it repeatedly.
