So today, the 2nd of October 2025 I downloaded the highly anticipated One UI 8. My excitement was cut very short when I found out that Samsung removed the option to have the secure folder lock automatically every time one exits the app. There's also no option to set the auto lock upon exit, which means for as long as the phone is unlocked, the secure folder is vulnerable to anyone that's using the phone. Why call it a secure folder with such weak security and why did they remove the option to auto lock the folder upon exit? Samsung really needs to let us know if they enjoy watching us complain. Giving the One UI 8 update a 3/10 so far.

I also saw it and it is not well. Samsung should be aware of our feebacks and make changes in future updates.

They are not doing anything about it because I see this was also reported on some Fold devices back in July. It's now October and they haven't fixed anything

I just updated too; I wouldn’t have done it if I knew it would be trash.
