Secure Folder
Everyone has the odd photo they’d prefer to keep private, a sensitive file that they don’t want others to see, or a game or app they’re embarrassed about. Samsung enables you to hide your shame with Secure Folder. To use it simply drag down the notification shade and tap on the Secure Folder icon in your quick settings. You’ll have to agree to the terms and set up a Samsung account (if you haven’t already), but once that’s done you have a secure folder that you can only access with your PIN, password, pattern, or fingerprint. You can add apps or individual files and you can even hide the Secure Folder via Settings > Biometrics and security > Secure Folder > Hide Secure Folder > OK. Once hidden you can only access it by tapping the icon at the bottom of the screen in Settings > Biometrics and security > Secure Folder. 

That's something nice that I wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the pro tip Techpro - Question, do you know if the FBI can get into my secure folder? Also, will the secure folder also be getting the UI2 update? if so, do you know when will get the update?

Um he doesn't know anything. The FBI can't get into secure folder, at least I think. It definitely will be getting the update. Unknown when the app will be updated.
