On One UI 8 beta S24 Ultra, why don’t Secure Folder ask fingerprint on re-entry?

Bug: Does not prompt for fingerprint or password on re-entry, even when “lock every time” is enabled

One UI 8 Beta Version: Beta 2, build S928BXXU4ZYHB (September 2025 security patch)

Hi team, I’ve spotted a security issue on my Galaxy S24 Ultra after updating to One UI 8 Beta 2 (build S928BXXU4ZYHB, Sept 2025 patch).

Even though I’ve set Secure Folder to ask for fingerprint or password every time I re-enter, it doesn’t behave that way. Once I unlock it, I can leave for another app or the home screen, come back, and Secure Folder just opens without asking me to authenticate again.

Steps I tried:

• Opened Secure Folder
• Unlocked with fingerprint
• Switched to another app
• Came back, no prompt

Expected: Secure Folder should lock itself and ask for fingerprint or password every time.
Actual: Once unlocked, it stays open until I manually lock it.

This makes sensitive apps and files inside the folder less secure than intended. Can you confirm if this is already logged as a bug and if a fix is coming in the next beta build?

The Secure Folder doesn't lock itself as soon as we leave the app in One UI 8. Previously, it had an option to lock the app immediately when we left the app, but now it is gone.
