Am I the only one that finds it funny that the secure folder shows up in the "recents" now....then want to call that an "security enhancement". So now you have to manually close it and go through your recents to close everything out one by one. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ

Send feedback to samsung. If they get enough feedback, hopefully, they will fix this overtime.

Its not just that. On my S23 series phone after One UI update:

1. If I go to Settings >> Apps from outside the Secure folder, there is a tab at the bottom which shows the changed name of the secure folder, and clicking on it shows all the apps in secure folder. Not sure why this needs to be listed outside the secure folder.

2. And worse - If you use an app inside secure folder to open a data file that is also inside the secure folder, that does not work any longer. When you try to open the data file from inside the app, only the files outside the secure folder show up in the file list. If the data file needs to be outside the secure folder for the app to access it, what is the point in the secure folder? We need to secure the data file and not the app!

Please let us know if you see the same behavior. If you see it too, hope it gets fixed soon in the next update.

Why are none of the supposed tech blogs reporting this?
