- Samsung’s secure folder allows you to lock files and even the entire apps behind an additional layer of protection.
- An UI 8 has begun to improve how to access the secure folder, with the lockdown shortcut immediately.
- Now we are seeing that Samsung add new settings for secure folder apps to your share sheet.
Samsung prefers to present its Galaxy smartphones as a particularly secure device, and has long been bent to its Nax Security Framework to highlight these features. This includes a company system to separate the secure folder, some extra security or just separate personal content, which requires additional verification – at least, thus considered to be working. Today we are examining a recent change that seems to help smooth how you work with safe folder apps.
There is not just one place to keep safe folder media and download files, and Samsung also supports installing the entire apps in this secure enclave. With an UI 8, we have already seen Samsung implementing new controls around this functionality, such as a safe folder and ability to hide all apps installed there. When we are crawling through Samsung’s beta release, we are familiar with another agreement for safe folder apps.
In an UI 8, Samsung is introducing a new sequence that allows you to control whether apps installed in your secure folder share goals in the sheet from other apps (thanks: X zealous boy).

When active, as it says on the tin, you will easily be able to divide the materials with normal apps behind the safe folder concerns. We can easily imagine why the galaxy users likely want to turn to the toggle in both directions, but how the most meaningful for you is that you will rely too much on both of them for which you use a safe folder, and which specific apps you keep away from there.
An UI 8 son based on Samsung’s Android 16 has begun a solid start so far, and we saw that its third largest release would begin a few days ago. Samsung still has something else to do before this update is ready to be stable, but with the company’s major foldable packaged event, which is about to take place under a week, however, we may be very close to receiving some official release. Check with us on July 9 to reveal all the details.
