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!

My Samsung phone S10e just updated 03/26/23 and now it has this stupid warning. I guess Samsung doesn't give a parc about ticking their customers off.

I'm really not sure why the Notification is an issue? 

Other than perhaps notifying someone else that you have Secure Folder installed, it really isn't much of a problem.

That is EXACTLY the reason I want it shut off.

It's a problem because you can't dismiss the notification until you unlock the folder.  This is annoying everytime you reboot.

So far I haven't been able to get rid of the notification, I guess I will try uninstalling secure folder completely even though it sounds like a good option...

It will probably not help the OP that restarts daily, but I got the notification to go away by unlocking and then locking again the secured folder. (Used three dots to "lock&exit")

It does not solve the problem of the notification appearing after every restart.

This is amazing. The point of Secure Folder is to hide it from prying eyes, but they made it so that its existence, on the contrary, is shown.

Yes I agree, but it's existence doesn't make it any easier for anyone to access it. 

It would be a better idea to at least have the option to hide the Notification.

I had this annoying problem also.  I did unlock the secure folder, then relocked it and the notification went away.  Finally it still is gone, 3 days later!!

Have you Restarted / Rebooted your device since then? 

On Restart / Reboot it'll be there again.
