Secure Folder
Just installed Android 16 with One UI 8 on Galaxy S24 Ultra. Secure Folder no longer auto locks on exit. Why remove this feature? 

One has to manually lock and exit, or wait x number of minutes, or lock the screen. I don't want to lock the phone to lock the secure folder. Too many unnecessary manual steps to protect sensitive data. It boggles the mind why you would remove auto lock on exit.

Reinstate lock on exit

I doubt it very much. Been giving it some thought and still wonder why Samsung would do this. Some entity data mining the secure folder?

It's like not allowing one to cast a Samsung TV to a phone or tablet. They are removing features. I used this feature all the time especially when cooking and looking at soccer. I guess it's about money like every other company out there.

No, they removed casting from the TV to phone/tablet. Phone/tablet to TV still works. Be still your beating heart lol.
