Whatsapp photos can no longer be moved/copied to the Secure Folder

[Flumpaloo]

Hi, the recent update has stopped me being able to move/copy whatsapp photos to the Samsung Secure Folder. I have no problems with normal gallery photos and until the last Samsung update  no issues from the WhatsApp Folder.

If I can move/copy photos from WhatsApp folders into other gallery folders I can then transfer them into the Secure folder...its very annoying.  Do I need to change a setting or is this just the way it is now?

I am using an S20

Hi,

I have found the solution.

Select the files you want to move to secure folder. 

Select all the files and move to sd card to a new folder.

Go to secure folder and select now. It will work.

Worked for me

Hi! What I do is I move the photo out of the whatsapp album to a new album and then from there I move the photo to secure folder and it works for me. Hope this helps 👍

It's a long way of doing it and I don't know if any1 has said to do it this way, but if you screenshot the picture you can then send the screenshot to the secured folder...

Hope this helps!

Same thing with my note 10 as well after Samsung new update, and all images i had before in secure folder gone.

Yes, it works.

Even though it's annoying, but at least we can move them to secure folder via camera folder

Many thanks.

Same problem for me. I can't move Whatsapp pics/videos OUT of the Secure Folder. But the workaround that people are suggesting works. If you move the items to a different folder first (e.g., camera or screenshots), then it will move out of the Secure Folder.
