To find the Secure Folder on a Samsung device, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app by swiping up from the home screen and selecting Settings.
- Scroll down and select "Biometrics and security" or "Security and privacy" depending on your device.
- Tap on "Secure Folder."
- If it is your first time, you may need to sign in to your Samsung account or create one.
- After setup, you can access the Secure Folder from the Apps screen or home screen shortcut.
Alternatively, you can find the Secure Folder by swiping up to open the app drawer, then tap the search bar and type "Secure Folder" to locate it. You can also use Google Assistant by saying "Open Secure Folder" if you have set it up. If you don’t see the Secure Folder icon on your home screen or app drawer, go to Secure Folder settings and toggle on the option to add the Secure Folder to the app screen to make it visible. This folder is a protected space with encryption where you can store private files, apps, and data secured by Samsung Knox and a lock type of your choice (PIN, Pattern, or Password).
