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.

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.

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

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

See secure folder is not your app lock. Its actually work space app. So if you want to lock any app install it inside secure folder.

If you just need app lock install app lock from do mobile its good app I have used it earlier.

You need to notice that if you add any app which is already installed on your mobile, installed app is copied into secure folder, original app os still accessible outside secure folder. I have added 2 screen shots for more clarity.

1st one is main gallery. Which is accessed outside secure folder. It will show you pics from internal storage.
2nd screenshot is of gallery from secure folder. you can view pics which are there in secure folder only.
See the difference in pictures shown

Application in Secure folder are completely independent of the applications outside the folder. Thats why its there. Secure folder gives us extra layer of security. If this advice work mark this as solution by tapping 3 dots in corner.

If you want to move any file inside secure folder, click on 3 dots or lines and there is option to move inside secure folder.

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
