Secure folder - problem after upgrade to android 16

Hello,

after updating my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to Android 16 and One UI 8.0, I encountered an issue with the Secure Folder (Private Folder). The “Select and Search with Google” function stopped working — whenever I try to use it, I get a message saying that the feature is unavailable or disabled.

 

Additionally, after the update I have browsers installed inside the Secure Folder, and when I try to upload a photo to a website, a menu appears allowing me to choose between my personal profile and my Secure Folder. However, when I select “Choose from Secure Folder Gallery”, no photos are displayed, even though I do have files stored in the Secure Folder gallery. Instead, only the photos outside of the Secure Folder are visible.

 

I would like to emphasize that all available system updates and all application updates (both from the Google Play Store and the Galaxy Store) are installed on the device. The phone does not indicate any pending updates.

Now if only someone could tell me why my secure camera opens every time I unlock my phone. Used to be both the secure camera and the secure gallery opened themselves, but I think this downgrade stopped the gallery from opening every time
