How To Hide Files On Samsung Phones Using Secure Folder

Here is How you can hide files on Samsung Phones.

Have you ever wondered if you can hide files so no one else can see them on your Samsung device? Well here is How To Hide Files On Samsung Phones Using Secure Folder. You don’t have to be a tech wiz to do it either.

Samsung has a feature on its Galaxy phones called secure folders, where you can hide those embarrassing photos or those important work documents without fear that friends, family, or others will stumble across them.

Once you’ve created the folder, you can then add other apps or files to it using the icons at the bottom of the screen. These items can be copied or moved over outright. Plus, any content or files you create from the Secure Folder will be housed there by default, though you can move items out of the Secure Folder as well.
You can choose to hide the Secure Folder from your app drawer and lockscreen if you so choose through a toggle in Settings under Biometrics and security, Secure Folder, Show Secure Folder.
