Hey Samsung, why did you remove the instant app exit lock option? It was so useful in the future. Hurry up and get the new update.

“After the recent One UI update, the ‘Auto lock Secure Folder’ option is missing. Please bring back the option to automatically lock the Secure Folder when the app is closed or screen is off.”

📩 Title:
Bring Back “Auto-Lock Secure Folder After Exiting Apps” Option
📄 Message:
Hi Samsung Team,
I really value the Secure Folder feature for keeping my private data safe, but after updating to One UI 8, I noticed that Secure Folder no longer auto-locks immediately after exiting an app.
This used to be a key privacy and security behavior — every time we closed an app or switched out, Secure Folder locked itself right away. It protected users from accidental exposure, especially when lending the phone or switching tasks quickly.
Now, Secure Folder stays unlocked until manually locked or after a long idle period. This change reduces privacy and makes the feature less secure for users who relied on instant lock.
Please consider bringing back the “Auto-lock Secure Folder after exiting each app” option, or at least make it a toggle in Settings so users can choose how it behaves.
Many Samsung users value privacy and would really appreciate this small but important feature returning.
Thank you for listening and always improving One UI!
Best regards,
