Moreover, the Samsung One UI 4.1 Secure Folder is protected by the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform that makes sure that your information is kept safe from any malicious attacks. The service also allows you to add a passcode or biometric lock to keep your data safe from any others eyes.

Samsung Secure Folder users can add an existing app on their phone to their Secure Folder to make a copy of the app. You can also add new apps from Galaxy Store or Play Store only to install them in the Secure Folder itself and only these apps can access your hidden files.
