I turn off my phone every night. Every morning when I turn it back on there's a "Secure Folder Locked" notification that I can't dismiss until I unlock my secure folder.

PLEASE let us disable this notification!

Hi, we suggest you to perform wipe cache partition and see if it helps.

Below are the steps to perform wipe cache partition.

1.Turn off the unit.

2.Press and hold the volume up button and press and hold the on/off button. When the Android logo is displayed, release all keys ("Installing system update" is displayed before displaying the Android system recovery menu options).

3.Press the volume down key repeatedly to highlight "wipe cache partition".

4.Press the Power key to select. Press the Volume Down button to highlight "Yes" and press the Power button to select.

When the wiping of the cache partition is completed, "Reboot System Now" is highlighted.

5.Press the Power button to reboot the unit.

Oh 🦌

Wiping Cache will do nothing...

Going to Settings > Notifications and scroll down to the Notification for the Secure Folder & Toggling it OFF, may work.

It shows up as an Android System notification. There is no option to toggle it off

Try this.

Open the Secure Folder & go to IT'S Settings. Click on Notifications & Data > Toggle OFF Notifications.

I just setup the Secure Folder on my S20 Ultra & Rebooted.. No Notification from the Secure Folder.

BTW, if you Click on Android System Notifications, you should get additional options appearing.

As seen here.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I still get the notification. And the vast majority of Android System notifications are enabled and locked so I can't toggle themScreenshot_20221127_134102_One UI Home.jpgScreenshot_20221127_134522_Secure Folder.jpgScreenshot_20221127_134341_Settings.jpg

Yes, this notification is in the "alerts" section, which can't be disabled

I've got a couple of other ideas, but have a look at this one. 

 

It's got an obvious issue, in that it is SUPPOSED to turn off ALL Android System Notifications... don't know if it actually does, not to mention that you want some of the Notifications.

I have just tried, but it doesn't work. I think that it's because the notification isn't displayed over the apps but only in the notifications panel
