How do I stop getting these messages on the notifications panel.

I don't want to open it each time I just don't want the notification in the first place.

For better or worse, you can't disable the Notification if you are using the Secure Folder.

The persistent notification will be gone when you unlock the secure 📁, its only there when you restart the phone. How hard is it to tap it and unlock it?

Well the idea of having a secure folder is to make things within it unknown to those that can browse your phone - even if temporary.

Moreover the fact you can change both the name and the folder icon of Secure Folder in reases the premise and notion to have it remain private to ONLy the owner of the phone.

So having an alert pop-up in notifications (many people of the 1 line of notifications defaulted to be showing the preview or the header, fully defeats the purpose of a secure folder to remain private.

Hi, please try to Toggle off the Secure folder notification and check if it works.

 Settings >> Notifications and scroll down to the Notification for the Secure Folder >> Toggle it OFF.

If that doesn't work, please perform wipe cache partition and see if it helps.

Below are the steps to perform wipe cache partition.

1.Turn off the unit.

2.Press and hold the volume up button and press and hold the on/off button. When the Android logo is displayed, release all keys ("Installing system update" is displayed before displaying the Android system recovery menu options).

3.Press the volume down key repeatedly to highlight "wipe cache partition".

4.Press the Power key to select. Press the Volume Down button to highlight "Yes" and press the Power button to select.

When the wiping of the cache partition is completed, "Reboot System Now" is highlighted.

5.Press the Power button to reboot the unit.

That will not work. If you are using the Secure Folder, you will have to dismiss the Notification after every Reboot. 

You can not "Toggle Off" the Notification & Wiping Cache will not do anything regarding this Notification.

You guys are a joke! This is your solution?? You don't even know that you can't toggle the notifications off for this.
This post was from april 2023, almost a whole year ago and samsung still hasn't fixed this yet. What a joke of a company
