Using the Secure Folder on S10+

[thisisbbc]

Hello guys!

I'm unsure how to use the Secure Folder.

I have added an app, let's say Facebook, to this folder in order to add a second layer of protection (like an app locker).

My expectations would be that when I try to start the app, I'll be prompted to unlock it. However it looks like I can still access Facebook as usual and there's a separate profile contained within the new "secured" app in Secure Folder.

Do I need to remove the old app? Does it mean we can't have links in the edge panel to a secure app in the Secure Folder?

I'm a bit confused, any help appreciated!

Thanks

Apps in the Secure Folder are separate from any apps that you have in the App Drawer.

Are you opening FB from the App Drawer or Shortcut or are you accessing it from the Secure Folder?

In order to open the Secure Folder you have to use Biometrics or your Password/Patten/PIN to open it & any apps you have in the Secure Folder are completely separate & "sandboxed" from the rest of your device 🐧
