After I set up Secure Folder, and move the apps or info into the folder, the apps still show on my home screen or other screens? Any input on how to fix this or make it work fluidly?

Actually, you cannot move an App to Secure Folder. Secure Folder makes a copy of the app there. If you want that the app will not be visible in your home screen, you can uninstall it from the primary home screen after adding it to Secure Folder.

S24 ultra. Maybe in 2024 the user could not put apps in the secure folder but it is an option on after a reset because I just did it. I don't know if it is available after the setup because it also gave me the option to hide the secure folder and it didn't pop out when I did the app search for it. So I still have a lot to learn about this issue. I hope this correction doesn't just confuse a resolved issue but I had to put my 2 cents in. I will add to this when I find where the secure folder went when it was hid. I think it tried to hide itself by storing it inside itself and imploded. lol. Just kidding. I think.
