Hi Samsung Community,
I’m using a Samsung device with One UI 8 and I noticed that the option to “Lock Secure Folder automatically when leaving the app” is gone. This feature was really useful for keeping my private information safe quickly and easily.
I hope Samsung can bring this feature back in a future update. It would make the Secure Folder much more convenient and secure.
Thanks for listening!

Now even if there is theif detection lock but when we have friends around and then they can easily acess the secure folder which we do not want then to see

That's not the same as securing the folder when you exit the folder!

There can't be any logical reason to reducing the security for a secure folder. This was a poorly executed update and makes me wish I never did it.

Secure folder become not secure at all without automatically lock the secure folder when app is closed or left.

Th removal of this option is regressive. Simple logic that lock on closed is more secure than any other option. So why did Samsung need to remove it? And why has there been no response to this issue. This is the problem with these software updates. Users are not warned of loss of basic features before they accept updates. This is not in any way an "improvement" to the app. It is a loss of important functionality and zero comments from Samsung on if and when it will be restored. So frustrated by samsung.
