Secure FolderSubject: Security Flaw: One UI 8 removed "Lock Secure Folder each time I leave an app"
Description:
With the One UI 8 update, the "Each time I leave an app" auto-lock option has been removed. This is a massive security regression. Secure Folder is no longer "secure" if it remains unlocked in the background while the screen is on. Users can now access private data from the "Recents" menu without a PIN.

Request: Re-instate the "Each time I leave an app" toggle immediately to maintain user privacy and the integrity of the "Secure Folder" brand.

Secure FolderDear Samsung Member,
Greetings from Samsung Customer Support!
As per your concern, we would like to inform you that in UI 8, the previous option has been removed. Instead, a "Lock and Exit" option has been provided.
Path: Open Secure Folder → Tap on the three-dot icon → Lock and Exit → The Secure Folder will be closed.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.
Warm Regards,
Samsung Customer Support
