I updated my Samsung A50 phone and noticed their  -Encryption-  button is Removed. Samsung support couldn't find it either after I downloaded the new update today. I am meaning the real Encryption that shows it's actually in encrypting process when engaged rather than referring to the pin lock security feature as device encryption that I find as the 'phone encryption solution' when searching online which is puzzleing to figure as so, because it allready has that pin lock feature that is seperate configuration and coding aside from device encryption. Is Samsung no longer providing encryption suddenly??

Hi, the device has Encrypt or decrypt SD card option: Set the device to encrypt files on a memory card on A50.

I am talking about the Device Encrypt button that has been removed from Samsung that encrypts the device specifically referenced. Not SD encryption, thanx, but I'm not expecting any solution from Samsung in this, Samsung removed device Encryption, resets my app preferences which opened my security settings and Wi-Fi is as automatic configured everywhere in the new update which is hard to find all of them and disable them, especially with the icons of mobile hotspot and nearby share and other sharing icons turning on and off from time to time when they should not, even after factory reseting 3 times with normal settings and apps.

I found the encryption option.
under "biometric and security" there is an option for "strong protection".
