Samsung Addresses Major Secure Folder Bug in Latest One UI 8 Update

A couple of months ago, we covered a leak that suggested fixing the issue of vulnerability in the Samsung Secure Folder. Now it is finally happening with the One UI 8.

Samsung fixed the security issues of the Secure Folder, which was causing vulnerability of the files, so anybody can access your private apps and data stored in the private space easily.

In detail, when you were saving your important or private files in the secure folder, there were several concerns raised among the Galaxy users about the vulnerability of these files while using some tools, including Photo picker and permission controller. The primary reason behind it was the separate treatment of the work profile.

Fortunately, Samsung has now addressed Secure Folder issues with the One UI 8 update. According to the Android Authority, it only works when you fully hide the security folder. In simple terms, if you want to take advantage of complete protection of your privacy, then you have to ensure the activation of the secure folder hidden option.

Meanwhile, the One UI 8 doesn’t stop with fixing the security issues; it will also provide some other security enhancements, including Knox-enhanced encrypted protection and quantum-resistant secure Wi-Fi.
