Dear Samsung, 
I was wondering if you can also include Secure Folder or S Secure on One UI Core devices. It's really helpful on my A10 then when I upgrade to M12, it's no longer available. Or perhaps, will you made an app similar to that?
Thank you.

Unfortunately One UI Core doesn't have the specs to include the app bundles of the One UI.

You can always get a 3rd party Secure Folder app on the App Store. 😊

Hi. I have the same issue. I tried looking for similar apps on google play but all that ive found are either totally not compatible or may not be compatible which will also not work eventually after installation, maybe due to the fact that i have one ui core. I wonder if you know a particular app similar to secure folder that you can recommend?

Samsung, I bought the TAB A7 (SM-T500) to replace my ageing 2014 TAB S 10.5 (SM-T800), only to find, to my disgust, that it does not have a Secure Folder as the TAB S does. I thought because the A7 has KNOX built-in, that it would have a Secure Folder. As it has been seven months since @Sam-TheRightCareGuy has replied to this thread and there is still no Secure Folder available, it will not be implemented, in my opinion. I now need to replace a second Samsung tablet I have, that I use for things other than what I use my TAB A7 for, so I am now going to avoid any Samsung tablets and explore other manufacturers, paying particular attention if they have a Secure Folder option.

An update:
Today, 21/07/2022, the tablet updated its One UI Core from 3 to 4.1
I then discovered it now has a Secure Folder.
To set it up, go to Settings/Apps/Your Apps and scroll down to find "Secure Folder" and set it up.
I just did and am now a Happy Chappie :)

I am so disappointed about Samsung removing the secure folder features.. It was too late that I had discovered and learnt that I have one ui core version and that this version of Samsung ui (Which is very deceiving because of the word "CORE" that sounds more complete and powerful) doesn't have Secure Folder features.. I have always been using this feature on my Old Samsung J2 prime and Samsung A7.. imagine how old Samsung J2 prime and yet it can use Secure folder even without this UI version thing... And now, you have more advanced cellphone like Samsung A05s and yet I am so disappointed that this featu re was taken out by Samsung... I mean, no one will discover it if you're like me thinking that it will have more features then my old Samsung Phones.. What a poor marketing strategy they did... really disappointing for someone like me who always trust their brand of Phones.. it's really so disappointing doing this now that most China made phones are booming and offering more features and good hardware, cameras.. do you still think doing this kind of marketing strategy will persuade more consumers to buy more of your phone models..?? Well to be honest, I am starting to think of switching brands because of this...
