Yes, the One UI 8 beta introduces a significant change to the Secure Folder's behavior: when the Secure Folder is locked, apps within it are automatically closed and encrypted. This means that switching to another app will lock the Secure Folder, and accessing its contents will require re-authentication. This enhancement aims to bolster privacy by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Additionally, One UI 8 has introduced a "kill switch" feature for the Secure Folder. When enabled, this option hides the Secure Folder icon from the app drawer and the quick settings panel, rendering it invisible to unauthorized users. This feature ensures that even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot easily locate or access the Secure Folder.
These changes are part of Samsung's efforts to enhance the security and privacy of the Secure Folder in One UI 8. If you are using the One UI 8 beta, you can enable these features through the Secure Folder settings.
