The Samsung Galaxy S8 has many great features that give users a fantastic experience. You can do so many cool things, including the option to set up a secure folder. You will find this helpful if you keep sensitive data on your device.
You can keep the files you want away from others. All critical data can be stored in that folder, including photos, apps, and log-in details, to name a few. We will show you how to set up a secure folder on your Samsung Galaxy S8.
Store all the files you want
There are many third-party apps you can download for this purpose. However, you can keep the secure folder on your Samsung Galaxy S8 invisible. In other words, if you like, you can keep it away from the app’s screen. You can set up a password, PIN, or any other option that will allow you to unlock the folder. If you keep work files on your device, you can improve security even more. For example, you can use iris scanning to unlock the secure folder. Pretty cool, right?
We all keep all kinds of files on our phones, from photos and videos to work files and log-in details. Samsung came up with the idea of a secure folder that you can use to store all the files you want and keep them away from others. Let’s see how to enable it.
