Summary

  • Samsung Galaxy phones have a Secure Folder feature that offers a private and encrypted space for sensitive apps and files
  • This feature can be further improved by using one’s fingerprint to access the secure folder and customizing the app icon for discretion
  • Users can also duplicate apps for multiple accounts and hide sensitive content in secure folder notifications to ensure further privacy
  • Turning off annoying secure folder notifications after restarting one’s phone is also possible, as is backing up secure folder data to external storage such as Samsung’s Smart Switch app
