If Samsung focuses on securing UPI payment apps in "Secure Folder" then no app can be more secure than "Secure Folder".

The apps in the secure folder are shown in the battery history. If the apps in the secure folder cannot be hidden, then how to stop or hide them from being shown in the battery usage history?

"Secure Folder" is only for Protecting Photos and Videos. Earlier all my Banking and UPI Payment Apps used to be Protected in "Secure Folder".

If Banking Apps and UPI Payment apps are not secure then "Secure Folder" is of no use.
