FYI guys, Samsung Secure Folder is available in select Galaxy M devices, Galaxy F devices, Galaxy A devices and in all flagship models like the S series, Note series and Fold Series! Hope you guys enjoy the video and find it useful.

[@ramsaoji]

Secure folder is ok for protecting files and photos but not for locking apps, if we turn it on it uses more resources and its like the 2nd phone hence drains battery. Instead of that Samsung should have provided some provision like locked folder in files manager itself like OnePlus and also individual applock lock for locking apps which is a must and every other oem has it the best implementation is in MIUI. Sadly using a third party app for locking apps but it's not reliable and using another app for hiding and protecting files etc it's a very good app first it encrypts all the data then hides it.

2:00 Secure Folder 🔐 is to be used as a second space inside the phone. If you just want to lock an app you can do it from settings or from the S Secure App. The secure Folder is a private second space.

[@Rosankarel]

great video, very informative. have to say second space or private space on chinese phones are the ideal solution to duplicating apps and keeping them private. im so impressed by that feature that i woudnt upgrade to a phone without it. You get a completely separate phone with its own apps its own contact list its own camera system and the photos dont cross over to the other profile, and you do it all using 2 different finger prints. each fingerprint gives you a completely separate phone.

@@mobiscrub great video, you answered _almost_ all of my questions.. i still have one question that i cant find an answer to.. do you know of any way to completely remove the secure folder shortcut button from the pulldown "quick panel" buttons? i know how to deactivate it by removing it from the _active_ quick panel button group.. but this only hides it a little bit.. it still appears in the list of "inactive but available" buttons... and even if you renamed the secure folder icon, the new name is shown under the button, and it still has the original "folder with a keyhole" secure folder icon...even if you have the icon hidden from the app list, it would still be very obvious to anybody who knew where to look.. although it is locked when you unhide it with the shortcut button, i would still just like to know if theres a way to completely remove the button altogether, so theres no easy way to discover whether or not the secure folder is installed on the device. is this possible? i just thought of another way to determine if secure folder is installed on a device, even if the icon is removed from apps and the quick panel shortcut button was somehow completely removed. you could just simply go to the app store and search for "secure folder", if it says "open" instead of "install", then its already installed..a most unfortunate epiphany indeed 😔😔 even though i understand there isnt any way to "totally" hide it, do you know if theres a way to get rid of that quick panel button? thanks either way!

Amazing video sadly sf isn't available on my m21 but no complains it's alright there's a alternative samsung app called s secure which helps to lock apps tho it's not native but it's similiar (supports biometric too)

[@SimplyRedVirginia]

Thank you. Even when I went to look for a way to make certain files and folders private a few years ago, I didn't find this feature. But I did find that you could rename a folder starting with a "." or period and this made it a hidden folder. Then you could hide or show hidden folders, rename without the dot and open the folder. Then rename with the dot up front and back to private/hidden. Some fairly recent update now forbids the user to start a file name with a dot. Secure folder will make it much easier to make and access a private folder. What would also be helpful is to be able to turn off preview on specific files or at least folders. Even in the secure folder it shows a cover image of one of the images (in gallery). I do see where you can change the cover image, but if all the images in the folder are sensitive, It looks like I would need to add a benign image for a cover. Problem is, that benign image would now become part of a slideshow.
