Secure Folder notification bug "must unlock your Secure Folder in order to get notifications" after August update

I just installed the August update for my unlocked phone on AT&T. Now when i reboot my phone i will get a notification saying that you must unlock your Secure Folder in order to get notifications from apps inside your Secure Folder.

You cannot clear the notification and it will not go away till you unlock your Secure Folder.

 

More importantly, you really will not get any notifications from any apps in your Secure Folder unless you do unlock the Secure Folder after reboot. Once you unlock the folder you can go in and out of your phone after that and notifications will come through. But the next time you reboot your phone though you have to unlock your Secure Folder in order to get any future notifications.

Anyone else experiencing that bug? I feel that's kind of irritating that you're going to get a notification to unlock your Secure Folder every time you restart your phone and also the fact that you have to unlock your Secure Folder after restart to receive any future notifications from apps in your secured folder.

 

I tested this by doing about a half a dozen reboots and if you don't unlock your Secure Folder after a reboot you do not get any notifications. But once you unlock your Secure Folder all the notifications start appearing.

I have used Secure Folder since Note 8 and never did we have to do this after a reboot and I can't find any settings to enable/re-enable notifications from Secure Folder. Anyone else?

I have that same issue. It's every day that I have to unlock it. I even stopped the app and made all the settings to where I get no notifications but no help.

Sadly nothing does do the job unfortunately. It keeps notifiyng.

I could only prolong the notification time by selecting in the settings to lock the folder only upon phone restart. But this means, once unlocked it stays unlocked visible or not and it will grant acces without fingerprint, pin, or what so ever. So not really the solution I am happy with.

I and many others too would love to see this security leak seald asap. Since it is been going on for months I am confident, you had enough time to work on a solid solution to kill this bug. 

Thank you Samsung

I'm not unlocking my secure because surely it will make it insecure,??? I'm going to download everything and ask one of the computer smart children to clear the whole phone and put a new simcard in. But will solve it ?

Galaxy S10 Android 12 in 2024.

I've been dealing with this sh** since android 12 update a couple years ago finnaly I got a working solution. Thanks a lot!

To be perfect I just needed to solve the battery drain issue that came with android 12 update but I think it's a lost cause
