I wrote about an issue with secure folder about a month ago. Since the new update of one UI 8 secure folder remains open in recent apps, even if you close recent apps and click on secure folder you'll find the app still open (don't have to put password) the only way to secure folder locked itself for protection is if you go to lock screen (click side button or double tap screen) and open the phone ( unlock phone with password)...before with one UI 6 and 6.1 once you go to home screen or open another app the secure folder will locked itself for protection so if you go to recents apps it will not permit to see anything for protection and that's the way it should be, that's why is called secure folder ๐Ÿ™„...but with this new update of one ui 8 is not like that anymore, they already released like 2 patch but none of them is for secure folder....so, this is my second post about the same issue the first one i posted it on s22 ultra community...i hope that someone from samsung is reading the issues from the community and raise the voice so they can do something about it...or am i the only one with this issue?

It may be a pain, but you can exit the Secure Folder by clicking on the three vertical dots at the top right and selecting Lock and exit.

I had made a habit of doing that even before the update and it might be a good habit to cultivate!

Look how many seconds a day you might waste if you have to remember to lock and exit each time. ๐Ÿ™„

Who is accessing your phone and secure folder  immediately after you exit the app?  The folder locks automatically after the screen turns off or after 5 minutes.  I presume that in the 5 minutes after you close the folder, the phone is still in your hands and you are continuing to use it, or the screen shut off, so therefore the folder would be locked (as should your phone be if you really cared about your privacy).
