One UI 8 Secure Folder Update

Messed Up everything BIG TIME.

1. Not Locking Immediately Like One UI 7, Security completely gone for a toss.

2. Secure Folder Files earlier If I am using Chrome inside Secure Folder and I want to upload a file the File Browser no longer shows files from Secure Folder instead it shows files from Main File Browser. I have to move file out of Secure folder for a Chrome running in a Secure Folder to see these files? Huh? Really? One UI worked GREAT here too. It kept both file systems isolated.

3. Other day I want to Local Send few files of to my computer and guess what those documents are also not showing as Secure Folder file system is empty same as point 2

4. LocalSend App Transfer Speeds earlier were great from Secure Folder and now 100 MB takes ages to transfer back and forth

5. Circle to Search gone. This is my most used Secure Folder go to thing now completely gone.

6. Notifications visible as Secure Folder is no longer secure now

I will update more 

In a Nutshell, Secure Folder isn't secure and File System isolation is gone. AI doesn't work like before. The most Pathetic Update

I hope SAMSUNG really bring Secure Folder workings from One UI 7 back with a Patch.

I haven't tried that yet. One thing I learned is If you have a stable software running it is better not to update.

I really hope Samsung Fixes all these problems they created with One UI 8 update. I was thinking of buying S26 Ultra and now plans dropped if Secure Folder stays messed up.

Dude, updating to One UI 8 on my S24 was a total screw-up.
I had my work WhatsApp on there, and now Circle to Search is gone, making it useless.
It was a separate part of my phone where I handled work stuff, and Samsung messed it up.
They should just let us turn it back on if we want it.
Why is the team so weird to remove it completely?

Someone gone mad enough to kill the golden goose. I am really frustrated myself.
