Request to Restore “Auto-Lock on Exit” Feature in Secure Folder

[Sam_26]

> Secure Folder Auto-Lock settings page — the “Lock on exit” option is missing after One UI 8 update.

Hello Samsung Team,

I have been using Secure Folder for many years and it is extremely important for my privacy and security. In earlier One UI versions, whenever I exited Secure Folder or pressed the Home button, the folder used to lock automatically. This behaviour was very useful because it ensured that the folder closed instantly when I left it.

After updating to One UI 8 (Android 16), this feature has been removed. The option “Lock when leaving Secure Folder / Lock on exit” no longer appears in Auto-Lock settings. Because of this, Secure Folder stays unlocked in the background after exiting, which creates a serious privacy concern.

I kindly request Samsung to restore the Auto-Lock on Exit feature in the next update. Many long-term Samsung users, including myself, rely on this behaviour every day, and it is one of the main reasons we choose Secure Folder instead of third-party vault apps.

Thank you for your time and support. I truly hope this important security feature returns soon.

The previous feature had all options but removing one made the security of the secure folder vulnerable. I kindly urge to bring back the autolock feature.
