Its been several years since the horrible update that now notifies the user that Secure Folder is locked when booting up. Why do they not remove it after so many dislike it!

    It really doesn’t. Secure folder is a secure folder with a lock, it’s not a hidden folder.

      Not really correct. They allow you to change the name and icon for the app in order to hide it. There is also an option to not show the app in the launcher. This notification completely nullifies that. It’s so stupid.

      I don’t even understand the point of the notification. Do they think I am going to forget I installed it?

        No it’s correct, it’s secure folder, not hidden folder. You can change the app and and disguise the app regardless of secure folder. Secure folder is just a second set of apps to have two logins at once, or to secure apps accounts documents e.t.c

      It’s more than that. It creates separate instances of apps. So you can have two accounts on your phone for the one app at the same time. It’s the most useful feature imo.

        The point was, it is not designed to be a secret, but a protected folder.

        Glad I don’t have a use for this (like most things extra on Oneui. It also makes my A53 run without stuttering)
