Has anybody noticed why the Secure Folder app always shows up in recent/background apps? I’ve cleared it several times, but it still appears in the background apps. . 🧐🧐

The Secure Folder stays in your recent apps because it functions as a separate, encrypted environment rather than just a standard application. If an app inside the folder is still running in the background—or if your "Auto-lock" settings are set to anything other than "Each time I leave an app"—the system keeps the folder active to maintain your login session. To fix this, simply go to the Secure Folder settings and set Auto-lock Secure Folder to "Each time I leave an app," which will force it to close and disappear from your recents the moment you switch away.
