Secure folder doesn't autolock upon exit (Fold 7 / UI 8)

[dipst]

Hi all. New Fold 7 owner. When I exit Secure Folder back to home, I can reenter it without having to reauthenticate. Anybody who picked up my phone could just get straight into secure folder. I can find no setting to require reauthenticatation after leaving secure folder. On my Fold 5, it locked automatically after exiting. This issue completely compromises the security of a secure folder. It isn't practical to manually lock it every time before exiting since I frequently switch between apps inside and out of secure folder. Am I missing something or is this another Samsung issue?

EDIT I've just checked on my fold 5 and I can see that in the "auto lock secure folder"part of settings, on fold 5 you can set it to lock each time you leave an app whereas on fold 7 that option is no longer available... meaning that when you leave secure folder or an app, you or anybody on your fold 7 can get straight back into secure folder unless you have remember to manually lock it. This really is moronic and makes no sense at all. It won't be possible to remember to manually lock secure folder on the phone where you are constantly multitasking and it's only makes life harder and make the phone less secure. Please tell me it has been moved somewhere else but it really looks like the usual utterly moronic Samsung shenanigans. Assume this pointless stupid and unwelcome change is a feature of the updated software. Sorry for sounding so negative but this sort of thing is endlessly disappointing

After using mine i have to ensure i choose the option to lock and exit, 2 extra steps that are not required if they bring back that option.

And it degrades the security.

Same problem,  new update took this auto lock away, so disappointed,  Samsung make secure folder secure again!!! Come on, you say it's secure by Knox and leave it wide open??? What were you thinking ? Or did not think ar all? Come on ,

What can we do to reach the right people in Samsung and petition them to put this right?

I have a Flip 7 and it's removed.  It's currently on my flip 5.

This is insane as it makes no sense

It appears to be an issue only on the new version of one UI

Hi. Yes, same problem for me. There is no option to auto lock. Why on earth do Samsung give then take away. S PEN & SECURE FOLDER are two big reasons for using Samsung. Another backup step.

Your description is for locking the phone. The issue people are discussing is automatic locking of SECURE FOLDER, this has been removed in ANDROID 16 ONE UI 8. 😁

Thanks for trying to be helpful but it's getting annoying when you don't read the issue carefully SMH
