Google Play Store downloading apps I select from GPS website to the Secure Folder

[donm527]

Hi,

I've recently noticed if I install an app to my phone from the browser-based play store, it will install it in the Secured Folder instead of my main App Folder. I'll then have to uninstall it from the Secure Folder and reinstall with the app-based play store. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?

Yeah I have it enabled and have a few apps but I moved those in by using the Add in main desktop.

I'ved Googled and found a couple of old posts from couple of years ago from people asking same question on Reddit. One an S8 user so not a new phenomenon... Just probably so rare cause who really installs apps from the GP website anymore that no one has an answer or really a fix then to just uninstall and install it through app.

But the fact there is probably a wonky setting glitch somewhere on my phone irks me enough to make an attempt to see if there is a solution lol.
