What is Knox and its services?

what even is Knox and why is these on my phone and why it keeps doing a enrollment this folder and apps inside just showed up randomly

Yes, all Samsung phones have Knox built in protection. Those apps may have come down in the security update.  You said they appeared suddenly. Did you have an update recently?  They may have added the apps in order to give more control over the Knox features.  Just guessing, as I have a) not had a recent security update and b) don't have those folders on my phone.  Do you have a carrier locked phone?  Perhaps your carrier pushed it out.

The poster has a used government phone, those are Knox for Enterprise.

It's a government phone and I haven't had a update any In 2025

It may have been a silent push.  What do you mean government phone? Provided by a social services agency or government employer?  Either way, I wouldn't worry about the extra apps.  It looks like they just give you more control over the Knox features.

Government employer issued phone

That explains it then. These are enterprise features for employers' IT departments to manage the security of the employees' phones.

Consider contacting your employer and letting them know that this is happening so that their IT people can look into it.

I would but I can't cus idk which government department it's from I bet they don't use this model anymore

@Saiko_Bichitaru More than likely this phone is still on a MDM (mobile device management) with that Government agency. Contact them and they will provide the information that you are looking for.
