What is the Secure Folder and how to use it?
You’d like to show photos on your phone to your friends, family, or colleagues, but don’t want them to see private information, such as text messages, photos, banking information, and passwords. How can you let someone look through your phone but not see your most sensitive data?
Secure Folder protects your private content, such as photos, notes and apps, from being accessed by others. It houses your private information in a separate secure area, even when your device is unlocked. You can also use multiple accounts on a single device by creating a copy of the app to be housed in Secure Folder.
NOTE: that the Secure Folder is only available on devices running on the Android Nougat 7.0 operating system and above.
After Secure Folder is set up, tap Add apps. Tap a desired app to put in the folder, and then tap ADD. You'll see a copy of the app in your Secure Folder.
To add files, tap Add files and then select the file source or type.
Note: If the file was previously saved on your SD card, it will be moved to a new folder in the Gallery, and saved in your phone’s internal storage.
