Hello with the new ui 3.0 update there is a problem with secure folder notifications: they are hidden even though secure folder is unlocked.

Before, you were able to choose between show always that notifications or show only in the case the folder was unlocked. Now you can't. Could you fix It?

@UserjI had the exact same issue that you had. The issue is there look like there was a change. In order for the notifications to work the way you want, you have to go in each individual app that you do not want to show until you unlock secure folder....you HAVE to change each notification type to not show on lock screen. I think their used to be a general option for it but now it looks like it's only available in the settings for each app

I cannot find, could you help me?.. I don't know if my problem is clear.
Before android 11 update, I was able to hide secure folder notifications when the app was locked: in that way everybody could use my phone without seeing notification content of secure folder apps.
Now instead I can decide to show or hide notifications always and it not related to the fact that secure folder is locked or unlocked.

That was the only reason I have samsung.

Ok think about Secure Folder as being a separate lockscreen. So our phone has 2 lock screens. Now, when you go into secure folder, there is an option to show or hide notifications....that has to be on yes for the option you want to work. Now let's say you have Snapchat and you want to see the notifications but you want the content hidden when secure folder is locked but show the content when unlocked....you have to go secure folder-> settings->Apps->Snapchat -> Notifications-> NOW, on EVERY notifications, click each one and there will be a setting to show or hide content...set this one to hide. So now the General show hide is set to show and the ones you actually want hidden with be hidden when secure folder is locked.

This worked for me. Thank you!

You have to go to settings in Secure folder --> Notifications and data --> App notifications --> Whatsapp --> Message notifications --> Lock screen --> select "Hide notifications"

I have the problem with all apps.

We should send tickets together.... secure folder is the only reason why I am using Samsung. If this issue is not solved I could switch to other players like one plus.

I don't want that secure folder notification are always shown but ONLY WHEN I unlock secure folder app... as it worked before.

I reported this bug and their response was this was done to restrict access by assistance apps. Which of course makes no sense if you select to show it then it's shown all the time. We need more people to report this bug to get some movement on a fix.
