Bring Back "Lock on Exit" Option in Secure Folder

[Not_Beatrix]

Hi Samsung Team,

I'm using the Samsung S25 Ultra on One UI 8, and I noticed that the Secure Folder no longer has the option to lock immediately after exiting the app.

Previously, in One UI 7, I could set Secure Folder to lock every time I leave it, which was extremely useful for keeping apps and sensitive data secure in day-to-day use. Now, the only available option is to lock when the screen turns off.

While I understand that One UI 8's changes improve system-level privacy, the removal of the "lock on exit" option reduces convenience and flexibility for users who want instant protection.

Please consider restoring the "lock on exit" option in a future update. This feature is important for users who rely on Secure Folder for banking apps, work apps, or other sensitive

information.

Thank you for considering this request!
