Secure folder not working

[SuryaDP]

I'm using a Note 8 and I've moved some apps and images to secure folder and they still show, and can be viewed by anyone.
how do I hide the images, videos and apps added to the secure folder?
can anyone educate me ?

long press any content and select move to secure folder.....don't make a copy

in one screenshot you can see that the add to secure folder doesn't appear even after long pressing and in a other one there is that option in the upper right corner but isn't live and after tapping on it , it says can't add xyz to secure folder

no ...not your fault.....due to Samsung or app protocol...which restricted system and some preloaded app to add with secure folder.

You can use S Secure instead of Secure folder for built in app protection

And remember if any other 3rd party app is used in the same way to open the photo, it will open your photo and accessible for any one after unlock your mobile. ( in case of s secure)
so add only files / photos/ music to your secure folder .....and gallery automatically created inside secure folder

Thank you for sharing your query. We would like to inform you that Secure Folder is a security platform to create a private, encrypted space on a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone. Apps and data moved to Secure Folder are sandboxed separately on the device and gain an additional layer of security and privacy, thus further protecting them from malicious attacks. Furthermore, users must use an authentication method such as PIN, pattern, pass code or biometric verification such as fingerprint authentication to access and manage Secure Folder. If you have forgotten access password then kindly once check is there any option of forget password is available, if not there is no alternative, you can use only master reset which swipe all data of s-secure folder.
