To open the Secure Folder on a Samsung phone, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on the phone by swiping up and tapping Settings.
  2. Scroll down and select "Biometrics and security" or "Security and privacy."
  3. Tap on "Secure Folder."
  4. If it's the first time using it, sign in to your Samsung account or create one.
  5. After setup, access the Secure Folder shortcut from the home screen or app drawer.
  6. To open, tap the Secure Folder icon and enter your lock type (PIN, Pattern, Password, or biometric).

If the Secure Folder icon isn't visible on the home or app screen, enable it from Secure Folder settings by toggling the option to add Secure Folder to the app screen. This folder securely stores private files, apps, and data with Samsung Knox encryption, keeping them safe from others on the device.
