I updated it early today before reading how invasive it is.
Can I undo it?
Is it necessary to my phones functioning?

Thank you for coming to the Samsung community with your inquiry. This is a great question!
Samsung literally branded the platform after Fort Knox because the entire design philosophy was to build an impenetrable digital vault around personal data. It is not an invasive app or anything of the sort. Knox is built into their devices to protect our cryptographic keys, biometric data, Samsung pass and lock screen credentials from physical and kernel level attacks. Knox's job is to ensure the operating system hasnt been tampered with or injected with malicious root kits. If someone tries to modify system binaries maliciously the hardware fuse flips and cuts off access to all of your sensitive data i.e. financial and biometric memory.
You can rest assured knowing that is what keeps your device safe 😊

The pro model would be untested & no doubt more expensive. I will need to get Spectrum wi-fi internet soon . Wondering if they might have offer w newer Samsung phone
