Secure Folder

[djn83]

So I've been playing with the secure folder settings and learnt you can hide apps within the folder. What I haven't learnt is how to this them!!

Anyone know how I can get my hidden apps back? Cheers.

Just go to 'Add apps'. The hidden ones should be at the very bottom of the list.

Open secure folder. Hit sdd apps. You can also install apps from the play store straight to secure folder.

PROBLEM : Secure Folder applications are still showing in the app drawer or on home screen being placed in Secure Folder...

So i called Samsung Tech Support and was on the phone while they were connected remotely to my device and couldnt figure out why the app is still showing in the app drawer, on my device. So they tried it on devices there in the office and i couldnt get a straight answer, but i do think it DID NOT work on their devices either. The tech said she would put in a suggestion IF the application is meant to be shown in BOTH the Secure Folder AND the App Drawer, to either add the option to Hide app in app drawer OR automatically remove the app from app drawer when placing it in Secure Folder. The Tech(s) totally seem my point and couldnt understand why the app was still in app drawer and why wasnt there an option to hide the app after being placed in Secure Folder. So after about an hour or so, thats where we ended, with a confused Tech and my question unanswered....

Less then 2 weeks later Secure Folder is updated (Today) within what's new : "- Fixed the problem that disappear app icon in secure folder."

App is in apkmirror BUT will not install on OREO, at this time. So if you have another Galaxy with Secure Folder on Nougat, give it a shot...

I am honestly shocked how fast they fixed the issue, Some say it isnt an issue and its meant to be that way, for example, if you put Facebook in Secure Folder, you Log In on the Facebook in Secure Folder and the Facebook in app drawer does NOT Log In. But i guess Samsung seen my point are currently fixing the issue....

Wish they would unlock our bootloaders that fast.....
