- With an UI 8, Samsung will ask you to re -register fingerprints for biometric access protected from you.
- Apps transferred to your secure folder can now be easily hidden from the rest of your phone.
- Enforce a new Samsung’s instant settings button to immediately hide all secure folder assets.
Samsung has learned the lesson clearly when it comes to waiting (and waiting, and waiting) to access the latest Android beta to its users, and this year it starts with Android 16 and an UI 8. Today we look at our first official on the One UI8 son, and we are already diving to find everything changing Samsung. So far it has some times upgraded and new airbed control, and we are now drawing our attention to the opportunities to reach Samsung’s safe folder.
Although your lock screen already helps to protect the data on your phone from comfortable access, the secure folder offers an extra layer of security, especially if you know other people are using your device. You can transfer your most private data to its encrypted protection, and even fully hide its presence.
Compared to the implementation of Samsung with a UI 7, we can already see some significant changes. One, you will see how you now ask you to re -register your fingerprints if you want to use them with biometric access. It looks like a little useless, but it really speaks in such a way that Samsung has created a secure folder as an enclave away from the rest of your phone’s assets.
Earlier, it was a bit heavy to move apps to your safe folder. There was a copy to “move” an app there, but left you with your origin. And if you don’t want to use anyone without access to any secure folder, you have to go in and manually install your old copy. With an UI 8, Samsung is making it very easy, and you have the option to easily hide apps so that they are just accessible to the secure folder.
Finally, we are getting a stop shortcut to shut down things immediately and get into the dark. A new quick settings button not only hides the secure folder without force you to do the settings through the menus, but you also close the apps that move there and silence their notifications. Considering this, Samsung encourages us to maintain its most sensitive things, just a very fast way to sweep it all under the carpet, fully feel like an on -brand addition.
Of course, this is just our first taste of a UI 8 beta, so we can see more changes before Samsung is ready for public release. Keep reading the Android Authority for the full coverage of everything.
