Apps security

As a long-standing Samsung user, spanning a decade, I am a dedicated advocate for your products. The recent updates have been truly exceptional, showcasing remarkable advancements in technology. My sincere commendation goes to the designers and engineers responsible for these impressive innovations.

While I deeply appreciate Samsung's continuous progress, I wish to address a specific area for improvement concerning the Secure Folder feature. Currently, its functionality does not align with user expectations. Despite placing an application within the Secure Folder, it remains accessible and usable from the main app menu without requiring authentication. This negates the intended security purpose.

I propose the integration of a comprehensive app lock feature directly within Samsung's settings. Implementing this would significantly enhance user privacy and security, ensuring that our devices maintain a competitive edge in the market.

Hello grafanm,
Welcome to Samsung Community. Reading your comment, we could not be more proud to have you here and thank you for being such a steadfast advocate for Samsung products. We are truly honored by your level and decades of loyalty. In that, we are especially interested with your concern with the secure folder issue you have brought to our attention.
I can completely understand where you are coming from when you stated the Secure Folder feature. Currently, its functionality does not align with user expectations. Despite placing an application within the Secure Folder, it remains accessible and usable from the main app menu without requiring authentication. This negates the intended security purpose."
Here is a link for you to try regarding the use of the secure folder application:

Once added to your secure folder, you can delete the app from your main page while keeping a "copy" of said app inside your secure folder only.

If after going through the provided troubleshooting and set up steps, you continue to experience the same issue, please reach out to one of our moderators for more in depth assistance.
