Not possible because Secure Folder requires Knox which is hardware based security and isn't available in M31 so it can't be provided through software update.

Nope, I know how Knox works. It's not a hardware based thing, it is a security key like Google's Titan Security Key which you get like a Pen-Drive Solution like that. Like Knox it added by kernel, when developers write program their other department in Knox write other inscript and add those in the programming line and if you look closer by tincturing on Download Mode you can see if Knox is 0×0 then the Knox key isn't broken but if it's 0×1 then someone try to breakthrough the Knox security and it's attempt no. 1. Like that, those video they release are just market commercials attracting people to see their wonderful hardware but it's not really like that.

What I knew so far was that there's a chip called TIMA chip which is integrated into the motherboard of the phones for Knox security.
You can find you that TIMA mentioned in the software information section in Settings. 😅😅😅👇👇👇

Even all BA's in this community and Youtubers says that Knox is a hardware level security.

Nope, it's hardware and software based features not a chip

I know bro it's a both hardware and software based security.

As the hardware isn't available in M31 so Samsung can't provide Secure Folder cause it's comes to Privacy so Samsung can't take risk by providing only a software level security as it can be hacked easily but as Knox is also a hardware based security so it's difficult to H@ck it as compared to only software based security.

But M31 has Knox do you want to know?

Yes I know but it's only software level not hardware level.
All devices that have hardware level Knox show the KNOX word in reboot screen and M31 doesn't show that KNOX word in reboot screen.

Because they didn't activated it, it is hidden in this phone and also TIMA hardware is installed but they don't activate it because money matters to them, same as Carrier Aggregation 😔

How did you know that Knox hardware is in M series devices but Samsung hasn't activated it?
Can you provide me your source?
