TL;DR<\/p>\n
Samsung likes to present its Galaxy smartphones as particularly secure devices, and has long leaned on its Knox security framework<\/a> to highlight those features. That includes Secure Folder<\/a>, the company\u2019s system for sequestering sensitive or just personal content behind some additional security, requiring extra authentication \u2014 at least, that\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to work<\/a>. Today we\u2019re checking out a recent change that looks like it\u2019s going to help streamline how you work with Secure Folder apps.<\/p>\n Secure Folder isn\u2019t just a place to keep media and downloaded files, and Samsung also supports installing entire apps within this secure enclave. With One UI 8<\/a>, we\u2019ve already seen Samsung implementing new controls around this functionality, like the ability to quickly hide the Secure Folder<\/a> and all apps installed there. As we continue to crawl through Samsung\u2019s beta releases, we\u2019ve become aware of another tweak for Secure Folder apps.<\/p>\n In One UI 8, Samsung is introducing a new setting that lets you control whether or not apps installed in your Secure Folder appear as sharing targets in the sheet from other apps (Thanks: That Josh Guy<\/a> on X).<\/p>\n Zac Kew-Denniss \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n When enabled, just like it says on the tin, you\u2019ll easily be able to share content from normal apps with those locked behind Secure Folder\u2019s protections. We can easily imagine reasons why Galaxy users might potentially want to have that toggle flipped in both directions, but which way makes the most sense for you is going to depend a lot upon both what you use Secure Folder for, and which specific apps you keep tucked away in there.<\/p>\n Samsung\u2019s Android 16-based One UI 8 beta<\/a> has been off to a solid start so far, and we saw its third major release start rolling out just a few days back. Samsung still has some more work to do before this update\u2019s ready to hit stable, but with the company\u2019s big foldable Unpacked event<\/a> scheduled to take place in under a week, though, we may be very close to getting some official release news. Check back with us on July 9 for all the details to emerge.<\/p>\n![\"one](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-secure-folder-share-app.jpg\"\/ "\\"one")
