How to use Secure Folder

[Sid_Karna]

It seems most of the people here are unaware of the uses of the Secure folder, which provides the best security in an Android device today. That is why everyone is demanding s secure which is a gimmick compared to the secure folder(s secure had so many drawbacks and security was only in name). So, here is how I use it:

1) Install all apps which need to be locked inside secure folder ONLY.

Eg: Google pay. If it's outside the secure folder, uninstall it and install it inside the secure folder only. The same goes for all apps which you want to be locked.

2) If you want to lock away some photos and videos, select them all from the gallery and move them to secure folder. Or you can take photos using the camera app in the secure folder so that the photos will be directly saved in the secure gallery.

3)Create a home screen shortcut for the apps you need. Then click on the shortcut and you can directly open the app by using your fingerprint/password without having to first open the secure folder. (Just like how you use an app lock).

4) You can lock folders in gallery even without any of these by using the gallery settings itself. So that's there.

Using this method you can lock almost all apps barring something like the phone app.

The secure folder is the best way to secure things if it is available on your device.

👍

Nb: The only drawback is that it creates a shortcut for all the apps, then the home screen may look cluttered like an iPhone. But then you can always arrange them in a nice way you like.
