I added some applications like Gallery facebook in secure folder and I thought these apps are secure now but these apps were still available on main screen without any pattern or pin I was able to open them. What type of security this is. How to lock these apps properly as there is no s secure in the device.

The Apps Are Copied Inside Secure Folder,
Creating A Different. Version Of The App.
The Data Present Inside This App is not accessible without password or fingerprint.

suppose I want to secure whatsapp then what it can be easily accessible as the one I kept in secure folder is safe. so secure folder is secure within some limits. now what about banking applications they need to be locked permanently. This is my point

What You are Asking Is An Applock.
Secure Folder Is Not An Applock, Rather A Different Space For Your Personal Data.

For S Secure :- http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.app.sprotect

Rahul......if you installed whatsapp inside secure folder then you only can use whatsapp inside secure folder only..but you have to Uninstall whatsapp from main home screen...otherwise you can't Uninstall built in apps which already provided by Samsung ....like gallery, Gmail, Google you can't ....any other confidential app if you like to install then you can install it inside secure folder

however as I told you in ur previous post
if you want to use app lock then download from playstore
S secure is not much secure as anyone can uninstall it and it is not asking any pin or passwords before uninstalling
but in case of app lock shouldn't be uninstall without asking pin/password
so u can check this out by this app lock you can lock settings, notifications, and even recent tabs.

s secure is not compatible with s 10 lite that was the best option
