Secure startup GONE ?

[BrownWombat09]

With the latest 1th of June 2022 security patch on the galaxy s22 plus (at least), it was decided by either google or samsung to remove an essential security feature from your device that would make breaking into your phone much harder by a threat actor with physical access to the phone. And now unfortunately that feature is no longer available

I was chatting with the customer care last night and they seemed to be clueless about such change and tried showing how to enable secure-startup, and despite knowing my device's model number they couldn't figure it out and pointed me to the nearest service centre

I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same issue or it might just be a bug from my end

@BrownWombat09
Due to Google requirements/policy, it was changed.

Hi @BrownWombat09, could you clarify whether the setting is gone, or whether it is enabled but not working?

[BrownWombat09]

It's gone.
