So this new update (assuming the update ads this too) i just got today should have killed my revanced apps?

This is only for phones that come with One UI 6.1.1 by default and there's a page during OOBE setup with a toggle for this "feature".

An update to your existing phone will not turn on this block, it's only for new phones.

Ty, cleared it up right away.

I don't have a Samsung but I would imagine that this only blocks new installations and looks like that it can be easily disabled if you don't want it
