Secure folder

[sachroxx]

My M51 does not contain a secure folder in biometric settings. Im having android 11 and 3.2 UI. 

Can anyone help

M series phones do not have secure folder which is a knox based feature as they run on OneUI Core.. (except for the ones in India)

Thank you. So even my A20 had it. Do you have an idea why they did it for M series. Any hope of we r getting it future

M series phone have good specs for low prices compared to A series phones. That's where M series phones run on OneUI Core with No Samsung Knox making them cost effective.
As Samsung knox is based on hardware components that M series phones lack, we can't expect all knox related features in M51.. But secure folder might be added as a software level security feature with a future update just as in some of the Indian M series phones.. can't say for sure.

And btw if my answers helped you, please consider marking them as solutions🤞🏻

There's is a difference between One UI and One UI Core.

One UI: Have Knox Security, Knox Apps like Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, etc.

One UI Core: Doesn't have Knox and Knox apps. Rest all functions are the same as a typical One UI.

Galaxy M51 running on Samsung OneUI Core. So your device doesn't have the Secure Folder.

If you want you can check it
Settings > Biometrics and Security > Secure Folder
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.knox.securefolder
(You'll see the app is not compatible with your device)

Don't ask why. That's the way how they demand A series than M series and you'll not get it in the future also.

Thanks. Im clear

But its still ridiculous that A20 like cheap dumb phone has Secure folder but M51 doesn't. Cant understand what kind of product differentiation that is LOL.

Also A20s doesn't have. Hard to understand the logic.

plus my sis has A71 and my M51 has almost same spec as A71 except for this crappy core thingy.
