5 overlooked ways to use Samsung’s Secure Folder that have completely changed my Galaxy phone

Credit: Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority I’ve had Samsung’s Secure Folder set up on almost every Galaxy phone I’ve used over the years, but I only started using it properly about a year ago. As it turns out, locking away private photos is probably the least interesting thing it can do. Once I stopped seeing Secure Folder as a glorified photo locker and started treating it as a separate space, everything changed.

I now use it to hide distracting apps, secure my financial applications, run two instances of the same app, and keep my work and personal lives from bleeding into each other. And I’m honestly surprised more Galaxy users aren’t doing the same.
