Secure Folder? What's the difference?

[spasell]

So I set it all up and also placed my Gmail into secure Folder.

I then made the Secure Gmail on my home screen vs the unsecure regular Gmail app.

Here is the question though.

What's the difference? I still access the same way. Is it just that my Gmail will be less vulnerable to attacks or hacks?

Guess I'm wondering the difference here because accessing it is exactly the same as I would do if using the non secure version.

Wait, what? Lol!!!!
The secure folder is to keep people from accessing your items you consider private, even if they got your phone access code. You put them in the folder and their protected by additional passcode, fingerprint scanner or iris...

You can set up another email account in the secure folder which you do not want others to access it when they got your phone. If you are setting up exactly the same email accounts on both the gmail app, then I guess it's pointless
