SECURE FOLDER
Secure Folder uses the Samsung platform, offering government-grade* security to create a private encrypted space on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
Create a secure space on your device to store your private data and apps. Data from commonly used native apps can easily be moved to a Secure Folder by selecting ‘Add to Secure Folder’ from the menu.
Apps and data in a Secure Folder are isolated from the rest of the device, providing an additional layer of security and privacy to protect them from malicious attacks.
Encrypting Secure Folder helps keep your data safe from advanced cybersecurity threats.
Lock and exit
Never miss a notification from apps in your Secure Folder, with Lock and exit. It’s ideal for staying connected to the work apps in your Secure Folder while keeping your data safe.
Encrypt
Once the Secure Folder is encrypted, all apps will stop working, and their notifications will cease—when opened again the encryption will be deactivated, and the apps will resume normal operation.
Keep your Secure Folder even safer by enabling a passcode or biometric lock.
To access and manage your Secure Folder, you can use one of the below authentication methods:
Never confuse work notifications with personal ones again. Simply create two profiles: one for work with copies of apps, and one for personal use with copies of the same apps.
