Previously I was using note 8 with Android 9. I miss the feature where you didn't even need to turn on the secure folder. Just by using dedicated fingerprint even when the phone was locked you can directly open secure folder and by pressing home button there were no traces of secure folder. It was like owning two phones without anyone even knowing

I am sharing my pain again. I am using samsung S23 ultra which is the best Android phone yet...but samsung has removed a feature called "Dedicated fingerprint unlock" in secure folder. It was very practical & samsung exclusive feature that makes samsung stand above other phone. But I don't know why samsung has removed such a great feature. I request "Samsung Software team" to bring Back "Dedicated fingerprint unlock" feature to all devices.

I have just upgrade from my note 9 to S25Ultra, I am very disappointed that this feature is removed! a short cut to get to the secure folder by magic from the home screen. The two other alternatives to launch secure folder really **bleep**!
