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

Previous features? Why remove something that works? Samsung should be adding and improving features not removing them. US getting less and you wanting more money. Yeah, that's a winning strategy.

To remove security from an Application/Feature called Secure Folder doesn't make sense at any level

Nope, not buying that. Will probably buy a different brand phone next time though.
