These are the release notes for Sophos Intercept X for Mobile for Android devices.
View the product documentation at Sophos Mobile.
We've started the phased retirement of the Password Safe feature. If you don't have an existing Password Safe file, we don't show the Password Safe menu entry.
If you do have an existing Password Safe file, the Password Safe unlock screen now shows a message explaining that we'll remove the feature in a future release. The message advises you to export your Password Safe file and import it into a password manager app that supports KDBX files.
The NFC check in Security Advisor now considers Android's Require device unlock for NFC setting, also known as Secure NFC. NFC on is no longer automatically treated as insecure if Secure NFC is supported and turned on.
If Secure NFC is supported but turned off, Security Advisor shows a warning and recommends turning it on.
We improved in-app guidance about how scan-related settings can affect battery usage. When turning on scheduled scans, a dialog now informs users about potential battery impact and provides a link to a knowledge base article.
You can now allow system apps detected as threats. This lets you reduce repeated warnings in cases where you can't remove the affected app.
This change doesn't apply to non-system apps or when Sophos Mobile manages Intercept X for Mobile.
We updated the antivirus and machine learning engines to their latest versions.
